Chief Technology Officer CTO
GREATER NYC AREA
Our Story.
Founder & CEO’s previous job together with the criminal police was to investigate and arrest cybercriminals. It failed. And so is anyone else in this job: Cybercrime is low risk, low investment, and high return. Not surprisingly, illegal financial gain is one of the biggest reasons for cyber-attacks. The result is a predicted USD 10 Trillion of damages by 2025, more than the global drug trade combined. Our vision is to change that. ‘Pulling the plug on cybercriminal’s money supply is our Mission. Our platform collects data and information connected to cybercrime-related financial transactions globally and turns it into effective solutions that prevent cybercriminals from cashing out their illegal gains.
Our Status.
Approximately one year into our existence, we have already reached significant milestones, are backed by senior advisors &investors and ready to ‘go-live’ with an MVP and first pilot customers. We are a small but growing, dedicated driven and fun team on an exciting, fast-paced global journey from pre-Seed/Seed Stage to Start-up Stage.
