About
Michael Paterson co-founded Beamery and was its CTO for nine years, building the engineering organisation behind a platform that raised $223 million and reached a $1 billion valuation in December 2022. He left a fixed-income desk at Morgan Stanley in 2013 to start the company — then called Seed.Jobs — with the brothers Abakar and Sultan Saidov, wrote the first version of the talent CRM, and scaled the engineering, product and design team past 130 people. He stepped back to a co-founder and advisor seat in 2024 and left in 2025 after an eleven-year run. He now works as a fractional CTO and angel investor for early-stage startups, is an advisor partner at Asymmetric Capital Partners, and has co-founded Asterisk.
