Co-founder & CEO (we're hiring!) @ At Chaser, we’re building something really special. Getting invoices paid on time is a global behemoth of a problem. At last count, SMEs in the UK alone were owed £55bn in overdue invoices. We have the opportunity to solve this dysfunctional status quo. We are transforming how SMEs communicate with their customers; how they chase them to pay their invoices on time.
With CHASER, a business can chase their customers automatically. We’re really proud of the impact our product is making: an average 26 debtor day reduction equivalent to a cashflow boost of £7.1k for each £100k of payment terms turnover. Money that an SME is then free to invest in growth; in creating new jobs. We were delighted to be named as one of the Future 50 of Britain’s most disruptive new businesses. And are very fortunate to be backed by top venture capital and angel investors.
We believe in providing great people with the freedom and empowerment to flourish. We are humble and meritocratic. We care about the quality of ideas. Not where they came from. At the same time, we set the bar really high for ourselves. This is the only way we will be successful in our wildly ambitious mission.
