THE CHALLENGE
Mara were looking to rapidly scale their European tech function to develop a range of cryptocurrency related products. We were tasked with resourcing a number of agile teams with engineering and product roles.
THE SOLUTION
Due to the scale and speed of the hiring, we allocated an entire Delivery team to the project, headed up and coordinated by a Director. Multiple roles were covered off at once, starting with senior strategic roles before moving into multiple hands-on tech hires.
THE RESULT
Since we started scaling their team, Mara were able to raise a $23m seed round, develop multiple product offerings, and grow headcount from single digits to over 150, across multiple continents.
