In today's episode, we're speaking with Steve Pomfret , CEO & Founder at Cygnetise , a signatory management platform that has raised $8 Million in funding. Here are the most interesting points from our conversation: Background in Operational Change: Steve spent 20 years working with large banks not as a banker but as a process expert, which laid the foundational skills for starting Cygnetise, designed to optimize signatory management processes. Transition to Entrepreneurship: The confidence to start Cygnetise emerged from Steve’s experience as a freelance consultant, which bridged his transition from an operational expert to an entrepreneur. Strategic Use of Blockchain: Rather than focusing on blockchain as a buzzword, Cygnetise leverages the technology for its immutability and efficiency, addressing specific operational inefficiencies in signatory management.
