I was surprised they use IEX so much, but looking at their website, they are probably funded by them:
“Our previous company, IEX, has done a wonderful job exposing many of the worst aspects of the stock market and offering an alternative model for a stock exchange: one that is fair and transparent. Our hope is to continue fighting the good fight, this time by focusing more specifically on questionable practices at the broker-dealer layer of the system, and again developing a better, fairer approach.”
