January monthly newsletter Happy New Year all, from the ever growing team at Token. We hope you had an awesome festive break and are ready for what 2018 has in store for us. It’s a brief update from us today, with more to come as it unfolds. As mentioned in our last update, we’re thrilled with our new card provider and the possibilities they bring. During the start of this year we’ve been speeding up this relationship and have signed a preliminary agreement with them. Development is ongoing and we hope to complete integration with them quickly. Exciting times!





We’re also really pleased to have filled a key position at TokenCard, please welcome Mischa Tuffield who joins us as CTO. Mischa will be heading up our product and engineering team, with his primary focus to bring high-quality products to market. At his core Mischa is a technologist and entrepreneur who loves building products from the ground-up; his main interest being harnessing technology to change behaviour. He has a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Southampton supervised by Prof. Nigel Shadbolt. After leaving academia he has been active in the London Startup scene; spending 3 years as a developer at Garlik (a consumer banking fintech business) seeing the project through to exit to Experian and then spending 2.5 years at PeerIndex where as CTO he helped build a cutting edge big data platform. He then moved to state.com, working with the likes of of Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Alex Asseily to revolutionise opinions on the web, before moving to Antidote, a digital health-tech company on a mission to accelerate the breakthroughs of new treatments by bridging the gap between medical research and the people who need them. We are very excited to welcome Mischa on board, we believe he represents a monolithic addition to the company. He will smash it at Token.



We also want to flag we’ve noticed another business using our name - https://eventchain.io/TokenCard-promotion/ - we’ve had a few community members asking about it and want to make clear that this isn’t us. We are considering our options and will take legal action against the proprietors. There is a lot more on the horizon, and we are excited to take ya’ll along on this dragon ride. Until next time. All the best, The Token Team
