Global payment gateway to buy/sell crypto

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

We built a payment gateway that acts as a fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat on/off ramp for web3 apps. It supports over 150 fiat currencies and 100 cryptocurrencies across multiple regions, allowing users to pay via cards, e-wallets, bank transfers, and more. Our APIs and SDKs let web3 applications integrate local payment methods easily and handle KYC/AML compliance in different jurisdictions through our partner dashboard with analytics.

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

We are currently distributed, with locations in Delaware City, DE, USA, Delhi, India, and remote. After YC, we plan to remain flexible but anchored in Delaware.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our team is split between Delaware and Delhi, reflecting where the founders live and work. This setup helps us serve global customers and handle compliance in multiple regions. We don't see a reason to relocate fully; we want to stay close to both markets and talent pools.
