We're building a stablecoin wallet that leverages the blockchain to provide

financial solutions for 500 million unbanked African youth.

The product is a mobile app that allows Users to effortlessly open a dollar

stablecoin account directly from their smartphones. We sponsor account creation and setup trust line to Circle USDC.

Users can leverage our platform to open "savings accounts", earn yields, and

access borrowing facilities against their savings. Allowing them to preserve

their wealth in the midst of economic volatility and currency devaluation. This is made possible by Blend, a liquidity protocol built on Stellar using Soroban smart contracts. We've built a simple interface and handle all the details between dealing with smart contracts

The app enables users to purchase a "Soroban domain," which functions as a smart contract mapping users' keys to simple names such as "chris.xlm." Contracts are Non-Custodial but we build an easy to use interface abstraction for non-crypto natives

In addition Users receive a virtual and physical debit card linked to their balance,

empowering them to transact both online and offline bridging the gap

between traditional financial systems and cryptocurrencies, and significantly

reducing friction between the two.

The app lets users send and receive their stablecoin balance for free,

instantly and anywhere, regardless of location, to other users within the app.

The app serves as a gateway for the youth to explore the world of

cryptocurrency investment, allowing them to easily buy, hold, and sell various

digital assets like Bitcoin. Allowing them means to not only preserve their

wealth but also multiply it.

While our app is built on blockchain technology, we have abstracted away

the complexities associated with it, such as keys and seed phrases, to

provide a familiar mobile money/banking experience for non-crypto natives.Yet, still retain the benefits of blockchain, offering free, instant, and reliable transactions.

Q2 ‘24: iOS App Live, Yield protocols integrated

Q3 ‘24: Solidify early adopters, Iterate on user feedback, distributing virtual cards, pay to existing finance rails from the app

Q4 ‘24: Android App Live, Distributing physical cards to users

We're currently in the midst of our first fundraising round, actively engaging with a diverse range of VC funds and accelerators, including Hustlefund and YCombinator. Our objective is to secure $500,000 to fortify our core teams, strategically expand our workforce, and craft a medium to long-term strategy for scaling our app's user base. This round serves as a bridge, sustaining us for 6 to 8 months until we transition to a fully VC-led round, potentially with accelerator involvement. It's a critical juncture for us, marking our evolution into an investable company. We plan to allocate capital with precision, with 50% directed towards our product and tech team, 30% towards bolstering our data team and operational processes, and the remaining 20% towards empowering our growth team and initiating impactful marketing campaigns.
