I worked in a place before, that I won't name due to legal unpleasantness, but started life as a travel marketing company, and pivoted to some banking/finance customer management when the pandemic properly took hold.

They exited not too long ago for about 150M after firing the CTO just before their big payday. I guess the co-founders spending a lot of their early seed money on strip clubs didn't deter later investors.



Did they get bought by a bank? I may have been on the other side of that lol.


Dude, if it was the same deal, there's a few major sleaze-bags who just got VP positions in the parent company, the worst sort of tech-bros you can imagine.


Banks hand out VP positions like candy. Executive Director and/or Managing Director are more inline with tech industry VP/SVP positions.
