== History ==
GoCardless was founded by Tom Blomfield, Matt Robinson and Hiroki Takeuchi after they had met at Oxford University. Hiroki and Matt had previously worked together at McKinsey.〔http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/28/yc-alum-gocardless-raises-another-7m-aims-to-be-the-stripe-of-direct-debit-payments/〕 The project started out as an attempt to facilitate Group Payments by making it easier for groups of friends and small organisations to make payments between each other. At the time the business was called GroupPay. After settling on Direct Debit as the best means to achieve this the three realised that they had built a product with significant enterprise demand, and the business pivoted to become GoCardless. The three were accepted into Y Combinator's summer batch in 2011, and shortly thereafter secured $1.5m investment from Accel Partners and Passion Capital. This was followed by a further $3.3m in April 2013 〔http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/18/u-k-online-payments-platform-gocardless-raises-1-5-million-series-a-plans-to-expand-across-europe/〕 from their existing investors and in January 2014 secured a further $7m funding round from Balderton Capital.〔http://news.techworld.com/sme/3499220/london-fintech-start-up-gocardless-raises-7m-in-funding-round-led-by-balderton/〕 After Y Combinator they moved back to London due to its strength in the fintech sector and their desire to focus on the European market where direct debit payments are much more common.
