How did we turn Request.Finance into a B2B company with double-digit monthly growth, even during crypto winters? 🚀
TL;DR: a great, fully-remote TEAM, from 15 countries on 3 continents
And here are a few words (and beautiful pictures) to describe it 👉
🌏 We built a fully remote team since day 1 (back in 2020) - that means we hire the best people, no matter where they are.
Trust is key, and we build it through offsites where we meet - and connect.
🎢 All of us are team players who want to learn, and improve
Over the years, we have made things better for ourselves, each other, our clients (hopefully!), and our solutions (for sure).
😇 Our team thinks before acting - we build what our clients really need, not just what they ask for.
📢 We are direct and clear like a team - no abbreviations (almost) - and good documentation.
Trust and support are the foundation.
This works because of offsites, like the one we just had in Marrakech 🌞
Thank you, everyone 🙏 0 reply

It's 2015, almost 10 years ago and at the time, I'm about to get traumatized
My co-founder and I are just starting as entrepreneurs
We are in an angel investor meetup. We need money...
At the time, we are building a remittance startup with better rates than all players
I am talking with an angel investor, he is amazed
UNTIL he asked "how do you do it?" "what is the underlying tech?"
We answer " Bitcoin as a backbone, it's efficient"
At the time, Bitcoin adoption is low, barely 500,000 people know of its potential value
And the mainstream media keep repeating:
"Bitcoin is evil"
This angel investment was important for us
We were entrepreneurs in their twenties
When the investor heard the word "Bitcoin", he stood up, mentioned "Bitcoin, this is bad stuff"
And he left
I wish him a happy 100,000 milestone 🥳 for the "evil" Bitcoin that was worth ~200 dollars at the time
We have been right.
The technology is key.
Around 600 million people have adopted crypto since then
It's just the beginning 0 reply

I’m delighted to announce that Request Finance has acquired Payso Lithuania to launch a new way to pay bills 🥳
The price tag is not $1.1B, but it’s game-changing nonetheless.
We are merging two exceptional products:
💱 Payso is a regulated VASP that grew 10x this year and has been helping businesses bridge payments between crypto and fiat.
💸 Request Finance provides an all-in-one finance solution for +3,000 hybrid businesses
💱 💸 👉 Together, Request Finance helps CFOs pay hundreds of bills in one click, regardless of the currencies and countries.
We are working towards mainstream adoption of blockchain, and it’s happening right now.
The tech is 50x cheaper, up to 2500x faster, and running 24/7.
Businesses must thrive, which is the job of the CFOs, COOs, and founders! 0 reply
