About us
We're a team of three co-founders and met while studying economics at university. Our love of being active, playing sports, getting outdoors and travelling is what brought us together initially, but it's our combined 10 years in banking and experience launching five ecommerce brands, that makes us a real force for good.
We quit our corporate jobs on the same day back in 2019, and lived together in a tiny 1-bed flat to get our business off the ground. We then became award-winning members of the NatWest Accelerator programme, learnt a lot and formed some great partnerships. We're relentless problem solvers at heart, and we take a long-term approach to business. We always choose to have fun along the way and intentionally prioritise enjoyment of the journey, while working tirelessly to smash our goals.
We've built a wide network across startups and large corporates, and we'll only work on projects where our values are aligned, and where we believe in the mission. If you're looking for experts to help bring your product to the world, get in touch with us today. We'd love to join forces with you.
