Company
Stackup
Manage crypto assets for businesses
We built a platform that simplifies managing on-chain business operations by centralizing control of crypto assets. Stackup replaces complex multi-wallet setups with a single smart account that automates and secures blockchain transactions for businesses.
We live in Los Angeles and operate remotely. After YC, the company will remain based in LA with remote work continuing.
LA powers our access to tech and crypto talent on the West Coast, and remote lets us hire globally. This flexibility helps us grow effectively without relocation pressure.
