Mel Gollan, founder and chief executive of RIP Global, a technology company that provides an automated and paperless expenses system for businesses and individuals, says the technology is game-changing.
Māori-owned technology company, RIP Global, is hoping to raise US$10 million (NZ$14m) overseas next year to take the company’s “game-changing” technology into global markets. Founder and chief executive Mel Gollan has built and patented a process that saves a lot of time by automating the recording and reconciling of expenses and purchases. Its process was unique, she said, and it had been granted seven patents in various regions around the world because of that. The patents related to Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe and the United States, all places where the company could defend its IP.
