Stablecoin API for global payments

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building an API that lets companies send and receive money globally using fiat, stablecoins, and multiple blockchains. Our product handles complex compliance and regulatory requirements so our users don't have to worry about that and can focus on their core business.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and we plan to keep the company based here after YC.

San Francisco is where we are, and it's the fintech and crypto hub that lets us be close to partners, customers, and talent. It's the logical place for BlindPay to grow from.
