Otta's take

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Financial crime affects everyone in the world. More than $4 trillion is laundered globally daily, and the proceeds fund modern slavery, piracy and numerous other criminal activities. Almost none of this activity is caught, with 99% slipping through the net. Enter Cable, a FinTech startup providing a suite of tools which allows total oversight of complaince, risk, quality assurance and management information reporting, giving fincrime fighters the ability to stop criminals in their tracks.

Cable has closed a seed funding round, raising capital to further develop its platform and to roll it out to its first tranche of contracted customers. It has recently announced partnerships with organisations such as Axiom Bank and Ramp, both organisations on the cutting edge of fintech. As regulators begin to wake up to the threat of online crime and enforce compliance obligations on the digital banking and crypto space, there is sure to be a growing demand for Cable's expertise in the very near future.

I found at Cable an incredible working environment, full of kind and amazing people that make every day a great day. The work we do fulfils me so much that I actually love returning to work after holidays. It's been almost 1.5 years since I joined (well beyond the honeymoon period) and I still rave about this company every day to the people around me. I hope it stays like this, because I want to stay here for a long time.

Meaningful work

May 2023

My life is split between several countries. However, with Cable's remote work culture, I have been able to travel and see family quite often, and without any issues. My manager trusts me to do my work, and because of that trust I will always make sure that I am performing at my best. In the age of the internet, and with a laptop oriented job, this attitude makes Cable a perfect place for me to work at.

Flexible working

May 2023

Everybody has bad days. At Cable I have always been able to recover quickly from those. Even though we are remote, we all know each other very well. People ask how you are feeling, and there is space to have non work conversations. The Operating System mentions Be Kind as one of the existing values - that is most definitely true. Everyone is kind and cares. That's what makes this place great!

Focus on employee wellbeing

May 2023

At Cable, we openly discuss decisions across the company, and no question feels off-limits. While this kind of environment is easier to achieve in a small company, a lot of thought has gone into how we can maintain this as we grow, and this is reflected in the actionable set of values that we all collaborated on creating.

Open and honest communication

May 2021

At a small start-up with big goals, no day is the same, and there are always opportunities to learn something new and get outside your comfort zone.

Challenging work

May 2021

One of the reasons I joined Cable was because I wanted to put my skills to good use. The world is, generally speaking, very bad at detecting financial crime, and the consequences are horrible and affect so many people. Building technology to help us get better at fighting it can make a real difference to people's lives.
