Background
WCKD RZR is a British FinTech startup, founded in 2020, active in the Data enablement and Data Governance industry. Whilst leading HSBC's digital transformation division; WCKD RZR's founders, Chuck Teixeira and Jonathan Farina, were tasked with the challenge of migrating 10 PB of client data  to the cloud, at the time this was one of the largest enterprise-wide data migrations to the cloud in the world. WCKD RZR's 3 process' Find, Govern, and Access are designed to collate, label, and govern large sources of data, whilst being completely compliant with complex, varying regulations.

Development
WCKD RZR was founded in the midst of the Coronavirus Pandemic, Private Equity and other investment channels were heavily impacted by a stock market crash making the environment for early stage start ups extremely difficult. These changes resulted in Teixeira opting to delay the company's seed-funding round. Regardless, in March 2022 WCKD RZR successfully secured $1.2 million in pre-seed investment from angel investors.

Awards
In 2021, WCKD RZR was shortlisted for FinTech Startup of the Year at the 2021 FSTech Awards.
