Disrupted the UK Hospitality Sector.

Started in December 2010, with co-founder Andrew, we set out to disrupt the B2C bar and restaurant discovery scene in London.

After a few years organically growing the site, we took on £500K of angel investment and pivoted to a B2B software company too.

We built a reservations platform, Collins; an event ticketing platform, Tonic; and an e-vouchering platform, Soda.

Over the next 5 years we grew all arms of the business, attracting over 250 million page views on DesignMyNight, over £6m worth of ARR for the software arm and £205m of fintech transactional revenue.

We grew the business to 65 employees without further investment and had a successful exit in November 2017 for over £25 million to a leading UK software company.
