James Dunn

Co-founder

Most traumatic bike theft:

Leaving the garage door unlocked as a kid and having all the family bikes nicked whilst we slept. I was not allowed to forget that very quickly!

Background:

I grew up working in bike shops and I've commuted by bike for over 15 years.


Previously, I ran a startup making the world of funerals a better place for bereaved people.

Richard White

Co-founder

Most traumatic bike theft:

As a resident of Cambridge (the unofficial bike theft capital of the UK) I've got more stories of theft than you can shake a stick at!

Background:

I've built a career assessing innovative technology and advising blue-chip clients on how to utilise solutions in new markets. Bike theft is the perfect area for tech disruption and I can't wait to make a dent in it.
