Our Story
Rick and Evan were at the vanguard of worldwide mobile adoption when they started their consulting company in 2010 with a mission to help businesses transact on the go using smartphones and tablets.
Where others saw opportunity in consumer apps, Rick and Evan saw opportunity in business apps. From their very first customer on the south side of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the company quickly expanded to help mobilize businesses across Canada.
Rick and Evan are now at the vanguard of another disruptive technology in Bitcoin.
