XYNQ was founded in November 2025 and is backed by £50,000 in angel investment. We won the Manchester Build Like a Pro 2025 competition, which surfaced over £1M in venture capital interest in the company.
Why we started XYNQ
The music industry moves fast. Millions of tracks are uploaded every day across hundreds of platforms. But the systems meant to protect artists, labels, and platforms from fraud, infringement, and manipulation haven't kept up.
ORIGIN is our answer: infrastructure that makes every upload decision transparent, explainable, and defensible. Not a review tool. Not a dashboard. A decision engine your pipeline trusts completely.
MA (Hons) Economics & Finance and LLM Law. Former fintech professional with deep KYC and compliance expertise. Leads XYNQ's product vision, commercial strategy, and investor relationships.
BSc Computer Science. Automation and cloud infrastructure specialist with deep expertise in KYC systems and identity verification pipelines. Architects and builds every layer of ORIGIN.
What we believe
Transparency over black boxes
Every decision ORIGIN makes can be explained, inspected, and audited. No hidden algorithms, no unexplainable scores.
Infrastructure, not dashboards
We build APIs that integrate into your workflow, not portals that replace it. Your tools, your process, powered by ORIGIN.
Trust is earned, not declared
Cryptographic signatures, hash chains, and immutable evidence aren't marketing features. They're the foundation of every decision we produce.
