About Our Client

Our client believes that in the future customers will not pay upfront before purchasing products online. Just like in a physical store, customers are not required to pay for items before they can try them on - so why should you have to online.

We believe we can offer great tools for our customers to enable a simple and transparent checkout experience, where people can try products before they pay.

They are based in San Francisco and building a team of exceptionally talented people to join us on our mission.
