I co-founded Remitly in 2011 to transform the $588 Billion global remittance industry. Remitly is now transferring over $2 Billion a year, which makes us the largest independent international money transmitter in the USA. We have raised over $60 Million in funding from industry leaders such as Stripes Group, the International Finance Corporation, DFJ, DN Capital, Bezos Expeditions, Founders’ Co-op, QED Investors, and Trilogy Partnership.
