How we work

Three locations. One team.

We are distributed by design. Alex is in Portugal, close to the first live merchant pilots. Liza is in London, leading commercial and partnership work. Konstantin is remote, building the technology. The combination works because the work itself splits cleanly — engineering, partnerships, regulatory — and because we have done this for long enough to know what each of us does best.
