About our customer
Our customer was founded on the principles of breaking down the intimidating barriers around financial transactions to make them intuitive, friendly, and even fun. And it worked: people love sending money with their app, and they’re growing by leaps and bounds!
But they’re only just getting started. They want to take that magic of sending money with their app and cascade it into every place where people use money. That means connecting people to their money in the most intuitive and fun way possible, then connecting people with each other. Users already love their app, but we know there are lots of things we haven’t thought of to make the experience of using it even more delightful and valuable. All that’s going to take a lot of figuring out. Let’s figure it out together!.
Target Start Date: ASAP
Engagement Length: Long term
Time Zone: TBD Flexible (EST / PST / CT)
Country Restrictions: Brazil and Argentina ONLY ALLOWED.
