Around the end of October or November 2013, when SCL decided to scale and prioritize development of technology solutions, I reached out to Jeff Silvester and Zack Massingham and asked if they were interested in coming and working on projects in London. Because they had new families and they were already established in Canada, it was difficult for them to move.
The arrangement was that they would set up a Canadian company. They would be able to work in Canada. The front-facing brand would still be SCL, or SCL Canada, but they were able to remain in Canada as they worked.
AggregateIQ was set up. The first project they worked on was Trinidad. The arrangement they had with SCL was that any work that they performed for SCL would then be owned by SCL. The intellectual property that was being developed at the time was then assigned or transferred to SCL. You could think of AggregateIQ as a bit like a franchise, if you will.
