# About the company
We’re a young Silicon Roundabout start-up, passionate about intuitive UX, clean design, indestructible code and creating a truly useful product…
As a small, super-focussed team we thrive on generating ideas, pulling them apart, throwing away half the bits and putting them back together in leaner, meaner ways. We like to experiment, build, test and we’re constantly striving to be simpler, more elegant and more effective in the way we work. We want the same for everything we build.
The company was founded from the corner of someone else’s office at the start of 2012 by tech entrepreneur Dan Jacobs, whose previous exploits saw him surfing the first dot.com wave and working for the likes of Virgin.com, Lastminute.com and BBC Online before developing and launching the hugely successful Prime Card for IDT Global.
We’re now based in our own premises in the heartland of London’s bustling Shoreditch tech community, eating falafels on Fridays and drinking a lot of tea.
