The BETA team
Behind the scenes with the BETA team
The BETA team is made up of experts in software and design.
But more importantly, it’s made up of climbers (and we mean full-on addicts—we start to shake after the second rest day). We are an international team but we meet regularly in rented meeting spaces, gyms, crags, and Tunisian restaurants.
We are a small but mighty team and we can easily react, develop and design new features
Miura
Founder, CEO & Developer
An American Full Stack Developer, with a MSc in Neural Systems and Computation from ETH Zürich and a BA in Neuroscience and Mathematics from the Johns Hopkins University. After working for several years as a Developer and then CTO in the FinTech industry, she directed her understanding of software to the climbing industry by founding BETA. Along with Steve, she also opened Malta’s first bouldering gym, Ġebla
She has been climbing for over 25 years and has represented the US in IFSC World Cups and other international competitions.
Steve
Founder & CPO
A Maltese urban designer, architect and design professional. His passion for design and understanding of the design of spaces led to his focus on the design of User Interfaces and BETA. He has also worked on the design and production of holds showcased in the Olympics and World Cups, as well as gyms around the world.
He discovered climbing almost by accident in Malta a few years back, growing to love the sport. He opened Ġebla alongside Miura, and participates in route-setting and hosting competitions.
Nikol
Software Developer
A British–Bulgarian software developer with a background in Psychology from Queen Mary University of London. Initially driven by an interest in sustainability, she began her career in the energy sector, where she began her journey in software engineering.
Alongside this, she discovered climbing and, within months, found her way to BETA. Combining a passion for building meaningful technology with a strong interest in people and community, she joined the BETA team to help shape tools for the climbing industry.
Robbie
Customer Experience & Operations Lead
Robbie's background is in healthcare, having worked in the NHS before discovering climbing. It didn't take long for her to fall in love with the climbing community, inspired by the welcoming, supportive people she met there while living in the UK.
Wanting to better understand the climbing industry, she joined BETA. A natural people person and an empathetic listener, she enjoys understanding each business's unique challenges and goals, helping them get the most out of BETA.
Anna
Database Administrator
Anna combines her passion for climbing with a background in computer science. She represented Team Ukraine in climbing competitions for over 15 years and spent two years using BETA's software before joining the team.
Because she has used the platform herself, Anna understands both the technical side of the software and the everyday needs of climbing gyms. With a degree in Computer Science and experience as a database administrator, she helps make sure BETA's platform is reliable and easy to use for the climbing community.
Isa
Operations Specialist
An Ecuadorian-Spanish business administration and project management professional with over four years of startup experience. She has always been drawn to the world of sports and technology, so joining a software company built around an industry she genuinely enjoys felt like a natural move.
Based in Latin America, she is the newest addition to the team and brings Spanish-language coverage to a growing part of the world.
We love what we do
Our team is like world cup climbers: tiny but strong! We love to put our creativity to work by thinking of new ways for people to interact with software so that they can do what they need to do as quickly as possible and get back to life in the real world!
All of us are passionate about our work and the vision we share. The strength of our team is a key factor in helping us inspire and motivate each other. If you wish to join our team?
Say hello! 
A team of climbers brought together by one goal: to bring you state-of-the-art technology for your climbing gym.
Whether at the top of Céüse, along the sea cliffs of Malta, or on the historic walls of Buoux, the BETA team is there to help!
