Founders

Jamie Holdroyd
Founder/CIO

YC W15 founder, previously co-founder of Moltin, a developer-first commerce platform acquired by Elastic Path. Since then I’ve worked across fintech and auctions, building internal tooling for major financial institutions and now serving as Director of Engineering for auctions at Sotheby’s.

Adam Sturrock
Founder/Vice President Customer Success

I'm an ecommerce expert with over a decade of experience. Currently working at Redbrain, where I lead strategic projects that help online stores grow. I co-founded Moltin, an ecommerce API in 2013, which was later acquired in 2019. I run Retailerboost, a Shopify app that runs incremental Google shopping ad campaigns to boost sales for merchants in USA. We fund the ads upfront with our capital so zero risk for merchants. We've generated 155,000+ orders and $10+ million in revenue for merchants.
