Company Update COVID-19
Hi everyone,
I'm sure you've already received countless emails from other founders about the global pandemic, COVID-19. I wanted to take a minute to address this. This is an extremely challenging time for the world but I remain very hopeful that we will get through this.
I wanted to assure you all that the team is in high spirits and we will continue to work around the clock to build product and service our users. As promised, our technology team (lead by Guillaume Torche and Mario Lazaro, thank you guys) launched the Quant portfolio this week.
I also wanted to let you all know that our company has been and will continue running lean. We are extremely well capitalized now with the funding we've received here as well as additional funding from professional investors that I mentioned in my last update (investors in LinkedIn, Ripple, Twitter, Google, etc). With the recent apprehension in using legacy banking systems, we've actually seen an uptick in business and revenue, so our future continues to look bright. Unfortunately, the same can not be said for many around the world.
This might be odd to say but I urge you at this point, if you are following our Republic campaign but have not invested, consider donating your dollars to someone in need or a charity that is addressing the healthcare infrastructure crisis in countries around the world.
I continue to be excited about building the future of banking with you. Stay safe and as always, message me directly if you have any questions or comments, I'll be personally available.
With warmth,
