Permutive was founded in the UK in 2014 by Joe Root and Tim Spratt – Entrepreneur First and YCombinator alumni.
Due to our patented edge technology, we’ve attracted the attention of global investment partners like EQT Ventures, Octopus Ventures, ACE & Company, and SoftBank Investment Advisers, which have invested in Permutive to the tune of $105m to date.
