What we do
Source and purchase secondary inventory where our research identifies edge. Build and maintain the data infrastructure that supports every decision on the desk—from market monitoring through execution and inventory management.
About
Live event ticketing analytics, built for the secondary market
Sky Strike is a specialized analytics and trading firm focused on live entertainment. We operate exclusively in secondary ticketing.
We run a small, research-driven desk in Santa Monica. Proprietary data, disciplined process, and direct market access—not a marketplace, not a broker shop. A firm built to trade.
Our approach
A trading desk
We study supply, demand, and pricing across the secondary ecosystem—inventory depth, cross-venue dynamics, and how information moves before the crowd catches up. Our edge is analytical: models, tapes, and judgment applied under real capital and real time pressure.
- Live events
- Secondary market
- Quantitative research
- Inventory & flow

How we're structured
A tight team: trading leadership in Santa Monica, technology and research support, and senior advisory on architecture and process. Small footprint by design—high conviction, fast iteration, direct accountability.
Careers
Career opportunities
We hire selectively for roles that sit close to the desk. Ideal for students or recent grads who are strong in Python, curious about markets, and able to work in person in Santa Monica on a consistent schedule.
