Joining up Government using tech to capture consent

Born from MBIE's Better for Business Accelerator, 2Shakes is cloud software that onboards clients, gets authority to act for them, workflows signatures and records signed contracts on the Ethereum Blockchain. We save hours of work for business, we save government from processing thousands of paper forms.

2Shakes core team brings together their passion and expertise: Mike Kelly's desire to 'join up government', Oliver Seiler GovtTech & API evangelist & Ata McGregor's search for a way to give control over who acts on your behalf.

This diagram shows the effort required to sign up a new client, the same information reported manually to many government agencies and other organisations. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) will add to this burden. 2Shakes is able to reduce this effort.

2Shakes are experts of automating authority, in electronic signatures and in cross-organisation integration.
