Tech firm moves from Clayton to Cortex

Financial technology firm Swipesum has relocated offices, moving from Clayton to the Cortex Innovation District.

Swipesum at the start of November moved to 4220 Duncan Ave. within Cortex’s footprint in the Central West End. The firm relocated from 212 S. Central Ave. in Clayton.

The new office for Swipesum is part of the CIC St. Louis campus, which includes 160,000 square feet of offices, labs and event space in Cortex. CIC St. Louis is the local organization of Cambridge, Massachusetts-based real estate firm Cambridge Innovation Center.

Swipesum provides software-focused payments consulting services for businesses. The firm made this year's Inc. 5000 ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies, with 704% growth in revenue from 2020 to 2023. Swipesum in 2018 relocated to St. Louis from Los Angeles. It initially operated in a two-person office at a downtown co-working facility before establishing its headquarters at Laclede’s Landing and later moving to Clayton in 2022. Swipesum has a team of 20 and is hiring for two more employees.
