Product Designer
Futrli- full_time
- Posted : 4 years ago
Who we are
Since 2014 Futrli has been on a mission to give every SME the opportunity to take control of their financial future. Through dedicated R&D this mission has evolved into developing a new category: Prediction Software. Predict, the most recent addition to Futrli’s prediction platform, is in-market. It is a completely new approach, technologically unbeatable, simple to deploy and scale, and has the SME’s workflow and needs at its core.
Our story is one of high growth, huge challenges and enormous opportunities ahead of us. It began with our founder and CEO, Hannah, who launched Futrli having needed to fulfil her own needs as a small business owner. Fast forward 6 years and we operate globally and have supported over 60,000 small businesses.
With multiple awards under our belt and a successful Series A funding raised in 2018 we secured possibly the strongest group of SaaS-focused European venture capitalists the market could offer. We have an impressive Board including Henry Lane Fox, one of the founders of Last Minute.com and Giles Palmer, CEO of Brandwatch. It’s an exciting time to be joining the team.
