The team
Beat is built by people who've spent their careers inside Investing & Wealth Management — and know exactly what's wrong with it.

Alison Cashmore. Co-founder & CPO.
Ali has spent 25 years turning complex financial products into things real people can actually use. She builds for the eight in ten the industry has ignored — investing experiences that are intuitive, transparent, and made for everyone.


Paul Axten. CTO.
Paul leads engineering across Buzz Interactive and Beat. He turns the thesis into product — the platform, the automation, and the technology that lets a small team serve a lot of people well.


Chris Lodge. Head of Customer.
With Over 40 years, Chris is an experienced strategic coach with a proven record of developing effective talent and building high-performance cultures in trading and fintech and sport. He has taken key roles in launching successful initiatives designed to accelerate businesses.
Buzz Interactive. Development team
We're partnering with Buzz Interactive, a B Corp and ISO 27001-certified software agency with 20+ years' experience building secure, scalable products for clients like Barclays, Tesco Mobile and Transport for London. They specialise in turning AI prototypes into production-ready software.
