Tim Group / First Coverage
About the Company
Based in London, TimGroup was a financial services company that sold proprietary SaaS to Buy-Side and Sell-Side financial clients. The platform enabled equity purchase recommendations from the Sell-Side to the Buy-Side. TimGroup also branched out into other markets - commodities, futures and currency exchange. Based in Boston, FirstCoverage was building a very similar SaaS platform. I worked at FirstCoverage and left when the acquisition happened, only to come back to work at TimGroup.
