Unlock African payments

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

We are building a stablecoin-powered payment infrastructure that lets businesses collect, convert, and settle money between Africa and global markets. Our product targets the challenge of fragmented, slow, and expensive cross-border payments into and within Africa.

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

We live in Wilmington, DE, USA, and operate remotely. After YC, we plan to remain based in Wilmington with remote operations.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in Wilmington partly for legal and operational reasons, but our team and user base are global. Remote work fits how we build and serve our market across Africa and beyond.
