About Tazapay
About
Tazapay is a platform for enabling trust in cross-border commerce. Lack of trust is one of the biggest inhibitors for B2B cross-border business. Buyers and sellers tend to work only with known and trusted parties, thereby limiting their business opportunities. Our platform will enable access to various services for doing cross-border trade safely - such as payment protections via escrow, formalising trade agreements with digitally signed agreements, and counterparty risk assessment. Our goal is to enhance trust in the trade process so that SMBs feel confident about doing more business with overseas counterparties.
We are backed by Sequoia and Saison Capital and founded by 3 seasoned professionals with extensive experience in payments, ecommerce, technology, cross-border trade, and high-growth technology businesses. We are hiring and looking for people who share our passion and belief in enabling opportunities for small businesses. We believe the world will look very different after this pandemic, as it did after the second world war and the financial crisis of 2008. We foresee a gigantic acceleration towards digitisation, especially in the B2B space, which has lagged behind B2C peers. The pandemic will change that equation.
We are conscious of the challenges; however, the most iconic companies are often founded in times of such upheavals. We believe our odds are better because of the opportunity to configure ourselves at a very young stage for the new world without the pressure to defend existing revenue streams, headcount balancing, or pivoting the business model. We are better prepared to seize the opportunities this new world throws at us.
