THE Team

A global team, passionate to improve the world in a small way.

Leadership

5 engineers walked into a bar... Reza Jalili and Mark Hochberg met each other at MIT and stayed in touch over the years. Kamyar Zare and Reza met while both worked at the IBM Research Center in New York. Reza and Joaquin Ruiseco met while each was studying engineering in Boston. This venture's advisors and board are experts in their fields, accomplished, and generous with their time.

Early investors have been supportive and enabled our development to date. We welcome the opportunity to speak with you, get to know you, have you on our side, supporting our goal of bringing Money over IP to the world of retail transactions, the IoT universe, and globally enabling fast, safe, cheap and private transactions, with full control over transaction specifics.

Meet the team

Our management team, Directors and advisors have had strong careers in Finance, Technology and Entrepreneurship - our history includes IBM, Microsoft, SWIFT, BlackRock, PayByTouch, Adobe, LiquidMarket/Yahoo!, the Gates Foundation and many more.

We all have worked hard, earned, and learned. We are proud to be together tackling a really big market: money, payments... something so basic as earning a living by selling stuff or services only works if you can get paid. We believe we have a better way to pay and get paid.

We work as a distributed team, providing near 24-hour leadership across regions and languages. We stay in continual touch via WhatsApp, phone and Google Meet. We use collaborative tools for doing and managing most of our work and our workflows, maximizing our ability to contribute individually and as a team.
