How would you explain Raffall to your friend in 3 sentences?
We’re a platform that enables brands businesses creators and fundraisers to run their own raffles and prize competitions without them having to invest in technology lawyers or infrastructure. We process payments issue tickets and protect entrants by ensuring that those hosting the competitions have no control or influence over the draws and cannot access the ticket revenue until their winners have confirmed receipt of their prizes.
Raffall is a great monetisation tool that enables brands businesses influencers and content creators to generate additional income by hosting their own raffles that give their fans the chance to win their personal items experiences or products as prizes.
Raffall is also a great fundraising tool that enables charities schools sports clubs or any type of fundraiser to host raffles that provide their supporters with the opportunity to win prizes as opposed to simply donating without receiving anything in return.

👩💻 Company culture
What are your key values and what are some daily work examples of them?
We are very much focused on the long-term objective which is to become the ‘PayPal’ of the competition space. Everything we do is built around two important foundations. Security and Transparency.
Doing something that has never been done before is very difficult. We’re constantly being told ’no’, or you cant do this. However we believe that just because something hasn’t been done before, it doesn’t mean that we can’t change how things are done in the future! Often we’re presented with solutions to our immediate problems. However we often don’t take them as it means compromising our vision for the future!
How diverse are your teams? What is the typical team size and structure?
We’re a small team spread across the UK, Spain, Ireland, Romania and Ukraine.
However our Slack channel is very welcoming and we do our best to make everyone feel important and part of something special!
Do you offer any helpful initiatives for parents with young children?
Not yet. But we’re small and open to suggestions.
What is your remote work policy?
We’re used to it. We embrace it.
If you do Agile - how is your agile process & release cycle? How much coding vs meetings/planning?
We prefer to not waste too much time in meetings. We have them when necessary. However the developers decide what’s necessary.
Do you have some in-house tech workshops or hackathons? Is there an educational budget?
Not yet.
Can I work on my projects or open source for a part of time?
No.
