Origins

Edward & Robin have been friends for more than half their lives: King’s Scholars at Eton, undergrads at Oxford, roommates in London. Edward founded **finbar** in 2023 as a solution to the time-consuming ‘grunt’ work of his former hedge fund role, and wrote most of the MVP up to first revenue. Robin joined in 2024 to take the lead on software dev as CTO.
