Today, I'm excited to announce we have raised $40m Series A It's been an incredible journey so far, we are just getting started, give us a couple of years, we've got some big plans. Techcrunch: https://lnkd.in/dkE2WvvM I'm super proud of our team: 34x growth in 20 months, 10x revenue growth in the past 10 months and profitable. I'm grateful for Nicolas Esteves and Nicolai Eddy who I have had the privilege of building NALA with the past 4 years, they have put their life into building this company with me with countless late nights, weekends constantly trying to execute on our bold mission to build payments for the next billion!
