Finder cofounder and chief operating officer Jeremy Cabral is downing after 16 years of helping lead the business to pursue new opportunities in AI.
The move leaves just CEO Frank Restuccia still in an operational role among the comparison website’s cofounding trio, which includes Cabral and Fred Schebesta.
Crypto evangelist Schebesta stepped down as co-CEO role to focus on the company’s VC side in late 2022.
In a LinkedIn post last week, announcing his decision, Cabral said he’ll move to a role as special advisor to the company and board, and continues to be a key shareholder in Finder.
“I have loved deeply the complexity of growing and scaling Finder over this time,” he wrote.
Fred and Frank, we’ve built such an amazing company together. I’m proud to leave Finder in your hands. and will always be cheering for you and the crew through the many ‘Go Live! ’ moments ahead.
“To all of our customers, partners and crew – it’s been an honour serving you and building Finder together. You allowed me to contribute something meaningful to this world that genuinely helps people and has helped me deliver on my life’s purpose.”
The Finder cofounder said he’s proud to have contributed to bootstrapping the business to $100 million-plus in revenue, expanding to more than into 20 countries and helping 35+ million people a year and supporting Finder’s 1,100+ people who’ve worked there over his career to achieve their full potential.
“I have always obsessed over building a better product, rolling out incremental ‘unlocks’ every day to help Finder become a brand trusted by millions globally,” he wrote.
“This of course was only possible because of the remarkable crew that joined us on this mission, passionately working on achieving the ambitious goals we set ourselves.”
Schebesta and Restuccia founded Finder in 2006, as a credit card comparison site and Cabral joined them in 2008 as the fintech launched its own branded credit card.
The company took on $30 million in its first raise in 2021 from a single investor, Microsoft-backed Sydney fund Future Now Capital at a $680 million valuation.
