The founders of Silicon Markets include Premiership footballer Ryan Bertrand, Louis Bell and Matthew Kirkham.[2] Silicon Markets received widespread press coverage in May 2016 when its founders launched another venture Footiemoji with Ryan's former teammate John Terry. Newspapers and publications such as City AM,[3] the Sun[4] and Business Wire [5] covered the Story of Bertrand's Finance ventures and his explanation of his motivations for starting the company as “I kind of wanted to go against the grain, the traditional footballer who reaches perhaps mid-30s, stops and then thinks ‘what am I going to do now?’ ”.
