We’re building Kontigo, a USDC Smart Neobank for Latinos in the U.S. and Latin America.
We launched our Peer-to-Peer onramp 20 days ago and we’ve already had $540k in deposits, 10k active users and a +300k waitlist.
The founding team has built and scaled fintechs in Latam, and it’s ex-Venmo, Nubank, Rappi, MercadoLibre, Ualá, Platzi, and Yuno.
We’re already backed by DST Global, Soma Capital, Pioneer Fund, Transpose + 10 YC alums.
Sending money to Latin America is just as painful as holding it due to the region's fragmentation into 33 countries with 39 different currencies.
On one hand, cross-border payments to Latam are absurdly expensive (up to 20% per transaction). Conversely, over the past decade, currency depreciation across the region has become unsustainable. (some countries surpassing the trillion percent ).
Kontigo solves this with a USDC global wallet & a BTC savings account.
User wallets are connected to an AI-private banker on WhatsApp to execute international USDC transactions.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
