In August 2023, we joined the Ticker Bell project to help bring its algo-trading backtesting platform MVP to life. Fast forward to October 2025, I'm proud to share that the Founder, Mehrzad Abdi Khalife who has just successfully closed an exit transaction.

This milestone marks not just the culmination of a project, but the evolution of a true partnership.

Our Role in the Journey

What made this collaboration truly remarkable was the breadth of support we provided across the product lifecycle:

• - Product Management & Strategy
• Project Management & Execution
• UX/UI Product Design
• Marketing Consultancy
• M&A Advisory during the sell-side transaction

It wasn't always easy — there were late-night work sessions, countless user interviews, and tough product and resource decisions. But working alongside Mehrzad's vision and leadership made it all worthwhile.

Collaboration and Gratitude

We're deeply grateful for the collaboration with Rollout IT — together, we navigated the development challenges all the way through to a successful exit.

A special thanks to Kitti Herceg and Vivien Bendik for their impact throughout the project. Your dedication, insight, and persistence were instrumental in reaching this milestone.

Reflection

Every startup's journey is unique, filled with turning points that define its trajectory. From ideation to scaling and eventually to exit, each stage requires different skills, mindsets, and resilience.

Which stage of a startup's lifecycle do you find the most challenging and why? I'd love to hear your thoughts, let's have a chat!:)
