Techlightenment

Techlightenment were the first players in Europe to build an ad platform for Facebook, enabling brands to exploit the opportunities created by Facebook’s exponential growth.

We were invited by the founders, Gi Fernando and Ankur Shah, to chair the business.

While working with the Techlightenment leadership team, we saw the employee count grow from a few heads to a 70 person team in the heart of Shoreditch.

We started working with Techlightenment in the early stages of the business and put in place robust business operations systems, ensuring they could react to a nascent, growing industry rapidly and scale quickly.

Ultimately, they established themselves as the industry leaders in Facebook Ad Tech in Europe.

As Techlightenment attracted industry buzz and acquisition interest, we guided the founders through opportunities and facilitated a successful exit for the founders, helping them sell the business to Experian.
