( STORY )
A few years ago, we launched two businesses: a tech startup and a venture firm. We were overwhelmed managing dozens of employees and investments across different countries and continents. We had to set up international bank accounts, create new entities, manage our books, and do all the other things that running a business entails.
OOO Our businesses and problems were complicated and growing. We needed someone or something that could provide specific expertise and care. But we never found a solution, so we decided to make one for ourselves.
Eventually, we started helping other people who had similar problems. They needed to pay contractors in other countries. They needed to prepare their firm for an audit. Sometimes, they just needed to get payroll up and running. Whatever it was, we handled it.
We realized that we had solutions that other businesses needed. So we created Spira Capital to provide those solutions to our clients with the same level of care, service, and expertise that we would want.
