Round brings every financial workflow together in one intelligent platform that learns, adapts, and scales with your business. Finance becomes clearer, faster, and more coordinated, giving CFOs and finance teams precision and control without adding headcount. Our goal is simple. Finance that runs itself so people can focus on building what comes next.

THIS is what happens when two meat-lovers checked out meat-free food, and decided that we didn’t want any of it. We had a job before we co-founded THIS, in 2019. We established and ran a burger (as in, beef) restaurant chain. As far as u-turns go, this is a whopper. When we left that business we realised some stuff: That maybe we should eat less meat. Fairly urgently. That if you don’t like tofu, or food with orange packaging, you don’t have much of a meat-free choice. That we should make plant-based food and deploy our secret-weapon, following it as our guiding star: our obsession and adoration for meat. The obvious(ish…) conclusion, was that we had to make our own plant-based meat-alternative products. Food that PROPERLY works in a fry-up or in a chicken-pie. And so, we made THIS. It’s ridiculously high in protein, it tastes sensational and it’s produced by people who won’t guilt-trip you if you also eat meat. Enjoy

We're motivated by solving hard fundamental everyday problems that improve the quality of people's lives. We like simplifying complexity, reinventing user experience, working with data, shipping fast, and humanising a serious space. We're venture capital backed (https://medium.com/@Citymapper/getting-from-a-to-series-b-883393164276#) by Index Ventures, Benchmark Capital, Balderton Capital, Connect Ventures, and various angel investors, including Yuri Milner, Xavier Niel and Michael Lynton.

We pay competitively and provide equity/ stock options to all employees. We get a lot of applications so our apologies if we are not able to get back to you. Finding quality referrals and recommendations is a better way to get our attention than just applying here.
