Find a star employee, then build a market around them. That's how Jeeves grew an international, all-in-one corporate spend and expense management platform for businesses.
Founder Dileep Thazhmon deployed this unique formula when building Jeeves in countries around the world, including Mexico, Toronto, and London. The formula: find the right person to serve as the nucleus of a new market, and then keep growing the regional business based on the individual.
It's worked in over 25 countries. Jeeves also recently hit over $40 million (USD) in annualized revenue, and is expanding its offerings to include prepaid cards and quicker international transactions (SOURCE: https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/25/jeeves-hits-over-40m-in-annualized-revenue-as-it-expands-beyond-corporate-credit-cards/). Competing in a tough fintech space with legacy banks, Jeeves has garnered high-powered investors including Andreessen Horowitz, CRV, GIC, and more.
Smart, passionate people are some of Jeeves' most powerful assets.
