A bit of history
With over 20 years experience working in FCA regulated e-money payment institutions based in Cambridge (UK), we have specialised in high-risk sectors across Europe and the US. Experienced in designing, building, and running highly available, highly secure, cloud-based financial products, including pre-paid cards system, and card issuing and acquiring platforms.
In 2013 we were hired as the Tech Senior Leadership Team for a young start-up company providing alternative payment methods. We were responsible for recruiting teams, implementing processes, and leading product delivery. Key achievements in that business included building an automated split settlement system, launching virtual prepaid cards for Europe and the US, the re-engineering of 2 server-based, non-scalable, uncompliant legacy platforms, to fully scalable, automated, cloud hosted systems within a 6-month timeframe including achieving Level 1 PCI DSS compliancy, which ultimately resulted in the company being acquired by a private equity firm for £40million.
In 2017 we lead the merger and IT Transformation for a scale-up company that brought together two product delivery teams, with two different tech stacks (dot net & Java) and contrasting ways of working. Here we were responsible for restructuring teams, streamlining processes, implementing Agile practices, re-engineering the platform, and launching new products.
We have recruited teams, built and launched products, enjoyed some awesome Christmas parties, celebrated weddings, babies, and everything else in between.
We play to our strengths and bring out the best of each other. We know what we can achieve together, and our friendship led us to become Co-Founders, which is why we’ve decided to build something amazing ourselves...in our own way.
