Cur8 is the best investment platform in this field in my view. The breadth of opportunities, thorough due diligence and transparency provide for a strong investment process and peace of mind.

I started investing with Cur8 with other family members a few years ago and have been very impressed with the quality of investments Cur8 has offered. The Cur8 team is very communicative and assuring. There is transparency in the process and the platform provides me with all legal documentation in one place.
How did we achieve all of it?

Caroline Cracker
Head of Product at Cur8 Capital
"I worked with Ahmed for 2 years where he single handedly designed the Cur8 Capital mobile and web apps from scratch involving the creation of a new design system.
Ahmed was a pleasure to work with, continuously looked to improve and did a great job at balancing quality design with the constant need to ship features quickly."

Isma'il Mustafa
Head of Operations at Cur8 Capital
"Ahmed is a design gem.
His passion and skill combine to make him a wizard at UIUX. It's inspiring and a pleasure to work alongside such a capable and knowledgeable colleague who is so easy-going and humble. Ahmed always exceeds expectations so it's always exciting seeing the fruits of his efforts.

Alex Henderson
Product Manager at Cur8 Capital
You have a great eye for design and attention to detail. I think it's amazing that you drove most of the work behind what the app looks and feels like today. I think it's one of the reasons we can pass ourselves off as an older, more mature company than we really are.
At the same time, I see you're not satisfied with "good enough", and you're often advocating for ways our design and product could improve. On a day to day basis, you have a great work ethic. When I collaborate with you or ask you to do something I know it's going to happen, and it's going to be done at a high quality of work. If anything, I'd like to see you speak up withy your opinions and insights more often. I think we would all benefit.
