who we are

Our origin story
(like Batman, but better)

While working in the corporate world, our co-founders kept seeing tech companies struggle to position themselves and partners in the market and realise their full value.

They saw the opportunity to do something different. That’s how Paal15 was born.

Now, over a decade later, we’re helping tech companies across the globe to grow by bringing together the right combination of commercial knowledge, creative skills and active network across the tech ecosystem.
