David Dillon is the Founder and CEO of URocked, a UK born fintech company transforming the way people connect, tip, and get rewarded through seamless, cashless technology.
David’s fascination with technology started at a young age, often dismantling gadgets just to understand how they worked. Although he struggled academically, he discovered that curiosity, creativity, and persistence could be far more powerful than test scores. Guided by a problem solver’s mindset, he built his path through entrepreneurship, learning to turn obstacles into opportunities.
In 2020, David founded URocked with a mission to make the service industry fairer, more transparent, and more rewarding. What began as a small idea has since grown into a European wide platform, now helping over 7,000 individuals collect their tips / gratuities effortlessly.
David has been honoured with an Innovation Award and recognised as Fintech of the Year, achievements he attributes to the dedication and shared purpose of his team. For him, success is always a collective effort.
Beyond business, David hopes his story reminds others that unconventional paths can still lead to extraordinary destinations. With resilience, teamwork, and belief in one’s vision, even early struggles can become the foundation of lasting impact.
