The challenge

Post a $28m seed raise, Silverbird engaged Scene to build a Product function that would allow the firm to scale and build new offerings from 0-1, transitioning the team to being a Product-first FinTech while navigating high Compliance and Risk thresholds.

What Scene built

Scene placed 8 people in Product and Design within a four-month window.

The outcome

Many of those placements built and launched new offerings that significantly increased ARR, contributing to 6x business growth.

What our clients said

Scaling is hard, but the process of building a team with Scene is always enjoyable

Tom Hazeldine
Chief Product Officer

The learning cycle is much quicker with Scene than other agencies, because the starting point for their knowledge is so much higher - once I'd explained something it was understood and that understanding and context compounded quickly

Tom Hazeldine
Chief Product Officer

The ability to essentially de-risk hiring at senior levels by engaging Scene is very powerful
