Our Team

At some places uniformity is celebrated; we find it dull. We come from different backgrounds and have different strengths and it is this symphony of superpowers that we draw on for our founders. We are a thoughtfully assembled cast of characters connected by a DNA of service, deep loyalty and a shared belief that good ideas can come from anywhere with no relation to level or rank.
