We do HFT on crypto. We make 1% of global crypto trading volume. Our team is 150 peoplemostly engineers traders and quants. We are a bit weird:

• We strongly care about our culture.

• No VCs on our cap table. We reserve the spot for our employees instead.

• Our central hub is neither in London nor Amsterdam but in Bratislava.

We spend half of our waking hours working. Thats a lot. We dont see why we should treat work as a chore. We want it to be worth it.

No amount of money is worth your soul. We choose to be the good guys in the market. Handshakes are sacred for us.

Life is too short for games of politics or fluff in general.
