Since co-founding the organisation back in 2012, Peter Bainbridge-Clayton has overseen the implementation of kompany’s proprietary global live network, which offers users real-time access to official and audit-proof information for regulated and unregulated industries. He is a true blockchain and AI enthusiast with a varied background in high throughput telecoms and government systems, including leading the redesign and implementation of the UK Government Business Register, Companies House.Peter has spent all his working life in various IT and scientific projects after teaching himself programming on a Commodore PET at the age of 11. His productive pursuits followed during and after his BSc. in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Physics from St. Andrews University: In a career which has spanned among many several others between designing and developing embedded control systems for bakeries, the world’s first ever implementation of a distributed java application in a manufacturing environment, the first ever implementation of SMS based content services and vending machine payment in telecommunications; the conversion of one of the first software-based telecommunications switches to European standards – including the world’s first transatlantic SIP-based telephone call – or the complete re-design and implementation of the core system for Companies House, the UK’s official company registry  Hosted on Acast.

Episode 22: Peter Bainbridge-Clayton in conversation with Stephen Platt 

Kompany provides advanced solutions to financial institutions and corporations on identity verification. It offers a quick and efficient way to do business verification. With this being a legal requirement for global businesses, Kompany have positioned themselves as the go to company, on a global scale. Having previously built up the verification system for the UK's Companies House, Kompany CTO and co-founder Peter Bainbridge-Clayton is well versed on the processes. Peter sat down with CoinGeek’s Natalie Mason to talk about his company’s journey, how it fits in perfectly on the blockchain and why they are moving forward on Bitcoin SV over other chains. So why did Kompany opt for blockchain? “Blockchain is good on proof” Peter says. “When you look at legal intricacies this [Blockchain] is the best way of doing it, it’s the only way that guarantees it can’t be gamed.” Kompany assures their customers that they are capable of proving to regulators that these “checks” were carried out. He points out, “the last thing customers want is to be fined for not doing checks and not being able to prove they did it.” Like many start-ups, Kompany had to undergo several phases before it can catapult to success. In its initial stages, Kompany used Ethereum for its reputable smart contracts, as Peter explains, but Ethereum’s speed capacity was a drawback. Its slow speed would refrain Kompany from responding to its customers instantaneously. This led Kompany to try faster chains like Hyperledger. Granted it proved faster than Ethereum for Kompany’s needs, Hyperledger is on a private chain and that was an issue and not quite the right model. Finally, nChain introduced Peter to Bitcoin SV. This ushered-in an opportunity for Peter to learn about BSV blockchain capabilities. At present, he is convinced that BSV is the right fit for Kompany. “BSV has everything we wanted- speed, consensus, cost, built-in time stamp and native token” he says. “We built a marketplace for this kind of information so that information becomes tokenized and can be traded.” Kompany will undergo some finishing touches before it is implemented. Its plan, to have a fully on chain request response system. It’s a promising agenda and is definitely one worth looking out for. To know more about Peter Bainbridge-Clayton and how Kompany is building a valid use-case on the blockchain, checkout this episode of CoinGeek Conversations.
