This is a chance to make a real impact on our infrastructure foundations, developer experience, and operational culture

Our take
For over a decade now, Bumper has been helping car owners navigate dealerships and repairs. Now, its focus is predominantly on helping owners break down costly repair bills from trusted garages into affordable monthly payments, with the help of a 0% interest loan.
It’s a smart premise, and one that tapped into the trend for buy-now-pay-later services, in part accounting for Bumper's impressive growth that saw the FT name it as the eighth fastest growing fintech in Europe in 2021. It remains a leader in the space, and the largest company of its sort on the market, with little in the way of substantial competition to its unique focus or impressive footprint.
Bumper has ambitious goals for wide European expansion, having already grown from the UK into ROI, Spain, and Germany. Funding raised by the company will support this expansion, and ensure it is able to continue its formidable growth trajectory.
