Balanced 做什么

Payments for Marketplaces. We're obsessed with all forms of infrastructure, including communications, transportation, energy, waste management, and payments. Robust infrastructure creates a happier, more productive, and more prosperous society. You know exactly what I mean if you've traveled somewhere where you struggled to find a reliable Internet connect or even usable roads. You also know what I mean when you sit in traffic or struggle with public transportation (or lack thereof) in the US. Balanced was created to increase the global economy (increase GDP) by enabling new commerce. Our mechanism or facility to do that is payments. Everything else we do depends on how it fits into the vision for Balanced.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Payments for Marketplaces

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

We are building a payments infrastructure specifically for marketplaces. Our product handles payment processing, escrow, and fund management to enable marketplace businesses to securely and efficiently move money between buyers and sellers. We focus on making payments simple and reliable for marketplace operators so they can grow without building complicated payment flows themselves.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA and the company will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the team is located and where we are close to the finance and tech ecosystem critical to building our fintech product. Being here keeps us close to potential partners, banks, and the marketplace startups that need our product.
