Are you aware there is a massive (market leading, in fact) trading platform called Murex? The name is rather close isn't it? Is it intentional?

Edit: I mean, if I started making say, an operating system and called my company one letter different from another company (mickrosoft? rehhat?)-- who are in the same market and have an enormous reputatation -- I'm sort of asking for trouble, aren't i?

Your comment was dead, so I vouched for it. I'm not sure if your point is valid or not, but I'm curious what the founders have to say about this.

Kind of curious also how this works. If they’re in YC surely someone must have noticed? Murex is in use in all the banks I’ve worked at in the last 5 years, it’s rather well known?

Didn't know about this. Thanks for pointing it out. Mudrex has nothing to do with it. Mudrex came from the Sanskrit word call "Mudra" which means currency. I hope this answers your concern.

I would be carful; if you think sap people are billed a lot per day you should see how much we’re invoiced for murex consultants.

Not the sort of companies who play nice on these sorts of issues.
