To become the new standard for how organisations resolve debt - ethically & technologically.
Debt affects millions of consumers in the UK. Over 300 people a day are declared insolvent or bankrupt – that's equivalent to one person roughly every 4 minutes. And at the same time, 12.8 million households have less than £1,500 in savings, and 4.8 million households live without at least one essential household appliance. But the aggressive ways in which companies collect debt remains relatively unchanged from 100 years ago.
Ophelos is an early-stage startup aiming to radically alter the way consumers manage debt. Their focus is on reimagining the customer experience by interacting with households through digital platforms and truly supporting them on their journey to become debt-free and beyond.
Backed by some of Europe's top investors – who have previously backed Citymapper, Curve, TrueLayer, and Wayve – the Ophelos team of researchers, engineers and business leaders bring decades of experience working across enterprises and academia, for companies like Oracle, Monzo and IBM, and academic institutions such as Oxford University, the University of Amsterdam and the University of Hong Kong.
