CEO & Co-founder, Fortumo, Startup Wise Guys

Martin was the CEO & Co-founder of Estonia-based mobile payments startup, Fortumo, recently acquired by Boku (LSE:Boku) for $41M USD. Fortumo’s products allowed digital merchants to acquire new users through telco bundle partnerships and collect payments using carrier billing & mobile wallets (the company connected merchants to a network of more than 300 telcos and digital wallets in Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa). Fortumo is known for only raising a single $10 million institutional round (from Intel Capital and Greycroft Partners) in its history and has been comfortably profitable since 2009.
