Tallarium provides an automated pricing platform leveraging advanced data science and machine learning to bring transparency to opaque off-exchange energy markets. Its core product streamlines the calculation of prices and values for over-the-counter (OTC) oil derivatives, moving away from fragmented, manual processes. The platform delivers real-time insights, standardizing complex market data to offer a clear overview for traders.
The company was founded by Stanislav Ermilov, who also serves as CEO, and Dmitri Akatov. Their foundational insight stemmed from the need to digitize and enhance efficiency within the traditionally opaque energy trading landscape, aiming to facilitate more accurate price discovery. Ermilov, with a background including Oxford University, brought a strong analytical foundation to the venture.
Tallarium serves energy majors and traders who operate within the complex off-exchange energy markets. The platform's vision is to become the definitive source of truth for these markets, providing users with unparalleled insight to make more informed trading decisions.

Tallarium is a London-based technology company that builds a pre-trade data and analytics platform for over-the-counter (OTC) energy markets.[1][2] It serves energy traders, risk managers, majors, trading houses, banks, refiners, and funds by capturing fragmented pricing data from chat, voice, and messenger apps, then applying data science and machine learning to deliver real-time price discovery, market insights, and risk management with 98% accuracy on key benchmarks.[1][2][3] The platform solves the opacity and noise in off-exchange energy markets—where traders still rely heavily on Excel—by providing a "single source of truth" for pricing across 300+ markets, enabling faster decisions, opportunity identification, and risk mitigation through intuitive Excel/API integrations.[1][2][3] With about 14-15 employees and $5 million in 2024 revenue, Tallarium shows steady growth, including a $1.6 million investment from XTX Ventures to fuel expansion.[1][3]
Tallarium was incorporated on February 26, 2015, as TALLARIUM LIMITED, a private limited company focused on business and domestic software development (SIC 62012).[4] Based in London's Covent Garden, it emerged to address the slow digitization of OTC energy trading, where manual processes like broker chats dominated.[1][2] Key early momentum came from securing $1.6 million from XTX Ventures (the VC arm of algorithmic trading firm XTX Markets) and Reciprocal Ventures, funding product development and positioning it as the go-to pricing tool in opaque markets.[1] Leadership includes Andrew Allison as Director of Product, with a team blending AI, data science, market expertise, and business experience.[2][3]
Tallarium rides the wave of AI-driven digitization in energy trading, a sector historically resistant to tech due to its reliance on informal channels like chats and Excel.[1][2] Its timing aligns with surging demand for real-time analytics amid volatile global energy markets, influenced by geopolitical shifts, renewables transition, and regulatory pushes for transparency in OTC trading.[1] By automating price discovery, it influences the ecosystem by modernizing workflows for majors and funds, potentially accelerating adoption of data science in capital markets (NAICS 424, 51) and reducing inefficiencies in a $5 trillion+ energy derivatives space.[2][3] This positions it as a niche leader bridging fintech and energy, similar to how algorithmic tools transformed equities.
Tallarium is poised to expand as the definitive OTC energy pricing platform, leveraging its recent funding for deeper market penetration and model enhancements amid rising AI adoption in commodities.[1] Trends like energy transition volatility and real-time data mandates will amplify its value, potentially driving revenue beyond $5 million through new integrations and global benchmarks.[3] Its influence may grow by setting standards for opaque markets, unlocking more trading alpha for clients—cementing its role as the edge providers need in an increasingly digitized energy landscape.[2]
