In 2015 I launched Dispatch Messenger, the first conversational commerce app in the UK which let you get anything delivered in an hour just by sending an instant message. I took it to over £1 million in request value in its first twenty days, with annual revenues growing 18% per week, an average order size of £140, and a 40% repeat purchase rate.

I founded Lutebox in 2011 with the vision to make online chat more natural, and built several patented products in messaging and video chat.
