About LoyaltyOS

We build the infrastructure
that loyalty programmes run on.

Not another bolt-on feature layer. Not a legacy platform with a modern coat of paint. Enterprise loyalty infrastructure — built from first principles, for the buyers that existing platforms have quietly given up on.

Our Mission

Enterprise buyers deserve
better than they're getting.

The enterprise loyalty market is dominated by legacy platforms that were built for a different era of commerce. Monolithic architectures, REST-only reporting, mutable balance fields masquerading as ledgers, and GDPR compliance implemented as a checkbox rather than an engineering discipline.

LoyaltyOS was started to fill a specific gap: enterprise buyers who need API-first, composable loyalty infrastructure that integrates cleanly into existing stacks, provides financial-grade auditability, and satisfies genuine GDPR obligations — without the overhead of a full-stack platform that competes with their own front-end team.

"The most compelling enterprise use case is the retailer operating on SFCC who needs audit-grade loyalty infrastructure, GDPR compliance for EU operations, and clean data warehouse integration — and who does not want to build it themselves."
— LoyaltyOS founding team
How We Work

Three things we are
genuinely committed to.

🏗️

Engineering discipline over marketing claims

Every capability we advertise is an architectural commitment. "GDPR compliant" is not good enough — we document the DEK/KEK model, the cryptographic erasure path, and the CI gates that prevent PII from reaching the event bus.

🔍

Transparency about what we don't do yet

We have not yet achieved SOC 2 Type II. We do not have a built-in gamification library. We do not have AI-powered personalisation. We say so openly, with a roadmap — rather than burying the gaps in small print.

🤝

Headless by conviction, not by accident

We do not build front-end loyalty experiences. Your front-end team is better placed to do that than we are. We provide the infrastructure; you provide the experience. This division of labour is a feature, not a gap.

The Team

Small. Experienced.
Slightly obsessive about ledger integrity.

👤

Alexandra Chen

Co-Founder & CEO

Previously VP Product at a FTSE 100 retailer's loyalty division. 12 years in enterprise SaaS product and commercial roles. Has sat across the table from every legacy platform on the market — and was not particularly impressed.

👤

Dr. Marcus Webb

Co-Founder & CTO

Former principal engineer at a Tier 1 payments processor. Designed ledger systems that process £2B+ daily. The person who decided an append-only model was non-negotiable when we started building.

👤

Priya Nair

VP Engineering

10 years building distributed systems on Azure. Previously at Microsoft in the Azure Service Bus team. Responsible for the event-driven infrastructure, the Dapr integration, and having strong opinions about message delivery semantics.

👤

James Holloway

Head of Security & Compliance

CISSP. Former CISO at a regulated financial services firm. Designed the DEK/KEK encryption architecture and the GDPR DSAR workflow. Takes cryptographic erasure considerably more seriously than most.

👤

Sofia Andrade

Head of Commercial

Enterprise SaaS sales and partnerships. Previously at Talon.One and Salesforce. Has seen both sides of loyalty platform vendor evaluations, which turned out to be surprisingly useful context.

👤

Tom Eriksson

Principal DSL Engineer

Compiler nerd. Built the ANTLR4 grammar, the DynamicExpresso evaluator integration, the Wasmtime sandbox harness, and the complexity budget enforcement. Answers "why 50ms?" with approximately 3,000 words.

Our Story

From a frustrating vendor
evaluation to a product.

Q1
Q1 2024

The penny drops

Alexandra and Marcus, working together at a retailer, evaluate five enterprise loyalty platforms and find the same thing in all of them: mutable balance fields, REST-only reporting, and GDPR compliance as a tickbox exercise.

Q3
Q3 2024

Founded

LoyaltyOS incorporated. Pre-seed round closed. The first design decision: the ledger will be append-only, and that is non-negotiable.

Q1
Q1 2025

Alpha

First working DSL evaluator, ledger engine, and order ingestion pipeline. Three pilot customers onboarded under NDA. The phrase "50ms or it doesn't ship" first used in a standup.

Q3
Q3 2025

Seed round

Seed round closed. Expanded the engineering team. GraphQL reporting layer shipped. First SFCC cartridge certified. The DSL got Wasmtime. We were unreasonably pleased with ourselves.

Q1
Q1 2026

Generally Available

API v1.0 released publicly. CDC warehouse sync shipped for all four major warehouses. The developer portal went live. Tenants can provision in under 60 seconds.

Now

Series A

Actively raising Series A to accelerate go-to-market, expand the integration catalogue, and deliver SOC 2 Type II certification. Enterprise pipeline strong. SDK downloads growing nicely.

Backed By

Investors who understand
enterprise infrastructure.
