Founders

Yazin Alirhayim
Founder

I've spent the past 8 years in fintech, having previously founded White (a "Stripe for the Middle East"; acq '15) and Verify (a "Plaid for the Mi.." you get the drift). Before that, I spent several years working at GE — including a couple of years as a field engineer installing monitoring equipment on turbines in the desert!
