As a founding team, we have lived the growth of the mobile industry, having founded mBlox, Boku and Nexmo – leading companies in the space – and have helped to deliver billions of SMS messages. But we have also learned first-hand the drawbacks and inefficiencies of trying to use legacy authentication solutions in an increasingly mobile world. It is time for the next evolution.
We're a growing team of developers, product people, marketers and account managers who share a common love of travel (when we can!), food and coffee.
We are backed by great investors who believe in our mission. They have been with us on our past entrepreneurial journeys too.
Talent is found everywhere, and we believed that from the start. Our team is strewn across the globe, and we'll be coming together regularly as soon as travel is eased.
