Founded in 2015 with offices in London, Atlanta and Singapore, we have many thousands of users of our B2B platform across the globe. Brands using Tyk range from Singapore Post to global organisations like the Financial Times, and Starbucks.
Our Mission

We’ve started by building an API Management platform.

Our values tell the story of Tyk – here’s how:
  • It’s ok to screw up!
We’ve found that it’s often the ‘stupid’ or unexpected ideas that turn out to be the successful ones – so try it, at least we can say we have!
  • The only stupid idea, is the untested one!
It’s in our DNA – starting a business with founders 12 hours apart, giving our gateway away for free – sure, we did that, and we’d do it again!
  • Trust starts with you – make it count!
Trust is a two-way street – instill it from day one!
  • Assume best intent!
We have each other’s back – we’re all on the same team. Think before you speak or act.
  • Make things, better!
Always try to leave things better than when you found them – change is constant, inevitable and embraced! Be that change we want to see.
