OUR MISSION
Financial wellness, for everyone
Financial know-how shouldn’t be the preserve of the few. Dozens is a comprehensive financial wellness app that combines a current account, budgeting, saving tools, investments and financial education – all in one app. Dozens is committed to helping people manage spending today, saving for tomorrow and investing for their future, their families, and communities.
A fairer business model for consumers
It’s time to challenge the banking model of old. Unlike others, we will never look to short term unsecured debt or overdrafts for profit. We’re commercially committed to growing together with our customers.
A responsible business model for Investors
We understand the importance of generating meaningful revenue from day one. Our B2B offering Pi1 does this. The fully modular, bank-in-a-box platform supports the Dozens mission by bringing us to profitability sooner, reducing the requirement for external investment in the future.
And a better financial services industry with Pi1
For its clients, Pi1 is a comprehensive offering spanning front-end, back-end, data and brand that launches banks, not just banking platforms. In addition, through Dozens, Pi1 is able to differentiate by also productising operational expertise, not just technology.
Delivered by an unrivaled team
Project Imagine shakes up the industry from the inside out. The leadership team is 70% female. The 70 employees speak 30+ languages and range in age from 22 to 60. And while we have some incredible financial heavyweights with decades of experience from the likes of HSBC, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock and Visa – more than half our staff come from a non-financial background enabling us to better understand the diversity of financial situations we’re committed to serving.

THE FUTURE
The vision for Dozens is for it to become the lifelong home for managing your money and planning your financial future. Dozens helps everyone secure the next step in their life, whether that’s going to university, saving money, buying a house or retiring.
The vision for Pi1 is to be the first low or no-code core-banking platform of platforms, bringing together diverse fintech innovation from around the world into one common standard for banks and asset managers to integrate with, much like a global B2B ‘App Store’ for finance.
Meanwhile, Project Imagine‘s refreshing take on culture and values ensures we always attract and retain the most driven execution talent to collaborate on bringing these visions to life. This talent pool will also continue to innovate towards additional problem statements and brands in the future.

FAQs

Since going live with Dozens in January 2019 we have added nearly 50,000 customers and launched a B2B technology offering with a pipeline that promises near-term profitability. Our existing investors have supported us to fund this growth, most recently with additional investment as part of the Government's Future Fund scheme where we raised £2m. However, we know that without our community of customers and crowd investors we couldn't have done any of this, so before our Series A round we wanted to give the community the rare chance to come on board and grow with Project Imagine.
A return is made if the business you have backed goes on to achieve an ‘exit’ (via a sale to another company or by floating on the stock market) at a higher value than when you invested – you make a profit from your investment. Just remember that investing in a startup business carries significant risks, including illiquidity, lack of dividends, loss of your investment and dilution.
