Our story

Meet thecrew

Get startedJoin the team

Based in Estonia

Headquartered in Tallinn, built for the world.

16 people

One team, no departments.

Backed by Inovo VC, Practica and Antler

Raised €7M.

Our purpose

A small team building the billing and monetisation platform for AI-native companies.

Mission

Empower lean teams of humans and AI agents to do business globally, so anyone with an idea can sell and grow from day one.

Vision

The next generation of companies will look less like an org chart and a payroll spreadsheet and more like a repository: a small team and its agents, shipping. Those companies need one place to get paid, grow, and coordinate humans and agents globally.

What drives us

Builder first

We build for people who build. Every decision starts with the indie hacker, the micro-SaaS founder, the solo creator shipping with AI.

Radically simple

No hidden fees, no complex setups. If it's not simple, we haven't finished building it.

Global by default

Payments, taxes, compliance, handled in 100+ countries. Geography shouldn't limit what you can build.

Meet the builders

A small team, headquartered in Tallinn. Each of us with a strong opinion on ice cream.
