About 20 North Technologies | Our Story, Mission & Team

Who We Are

A Technology Company Guided by Altruism

20 North Technologies was founded on a straightforward but rarely acted-upon belief: the most powerful technology is technology in service of something greater than itself.

In industries where software drives billions of transactions every day — casino floors, retail environments, hospitality venues — there is an enormous amount of infrastructure moving through the world. That infrastructure can simply process transactions, or it can do more. We choose to build for the latter.

With more than 50 combined years of executive and operational experience across gaming, entertainment, and technology, the team at 20 North has the depth to build software that works at the floor level — and the vision to ensure it works for a purpose beyond the bottom line.

What We Stand For

The Principles Behind the Platform

These aren’t aspirational statements. They’re the operating principles that determine how we build and who we build for.

🎯

Purpose Over Profit

We measure success not only in system uptime and transaction volume — but in the broader outcomes our platforms enable. Technology should create value, not just extract it.

🔧

Deep Technical Craft

We operate in environments that demand precision: gaming floors, regulated financial transactions, compliance-driven infrastructure. There’s no room for shortcuts, so we don’t take any.

📈

Measurable Impact

We build reporting and transparency into every platform we develop. If you can’t measure what your technology is doing, you can’t know whether it’s doing good.

🤝

Relationships That Last

We don’t take on projects; we take on partnerships. Our clients and collaborators stay because the technology keeps delivering — not because they’re locked in.

🌍

Community Responsibility

The industries we serve have real impact on the communities around them. We actively seek to build software that acknowledges and amplifies that responsibility.

🔥

Relentless Innovation

Gaming, retail, and hospitality technology is moving fast. We stay ahead of it — not because we have to, but because our clients and their customers deserve the best available.
