    I met Mohan & Rouvin at the beginning of Swipeys journey. They were at the time looking for someone who's passionate about B2B finance but also has the understanding of user experience design with a knack for solving complex problems. They were both eager startup founders with amazing work ethic, vision and compassion and we hit it off almost instantly. fast forward one year later, Swipey has grown to a sizable team with a steady stream of clients and users.I believe we are building a much needed solution within the Fin-Ops space, and with a little hard work, creativity and some luck we might just become a unicorn someday.
