Maroon is a hybrid cryptocurrency exchange that combines a centralised order book with hybrid deposit wallets for which the user always retains a key. Through a smooth UX that enables and encouraging self-custody, we turn the “Don’t be evil” ethos into a “Can’t be evil” reality.

Bleap is on a mission to create a new financial system. 10x better, 10x cheaper. We are starting by introducing the world's first wallet connected debit card that lets you spend funds directly from any non-custodial wallet without having to off-ramp or lock/transfer your on-chain balance. You will also be able to create dedicated a virtual IBAN connected to your non-custodial wallet so that you can on-ramp with the best UX at the cheapest rates in the market. And finally, customers can transfer funds from their non-custodial wallets to their linked bank accounts or send to friends via WhatsApp. No friction. The foundation will be our off-chain collateralized stablecoins (starting with USD, EUR and GBP) that we’ll embed with real-world financial rails integrations (Visa, Mastercard, SEPA, SWIFT, FPS) to enable free and seamless movement between fiat and cryptocurrencies.

Succinct is working at the cutting-edge of zero-knowledge cryptography building tools for developers to use ZK proofs to create the next generation of blockchain applications.

Karwan is building a new financial platform for Pakistan’s exporters. We give exporters a USD stablecoin wallet, local banking with cards and expense management, and an AI finance, procurement, and compliance team. We are starting with Pakistan’s $4.6B IT export market before expanding across the country’s $40B+ export economy and, ultimately, other emerging markets. Karwan is being built by a team with deep experience in fintech, startups, and Pakistan’s financial ecosystem. Our CEO and CTO previously built Passfolio, a U.S. investing and banking platform for international customers that reached more than 50,000 funded accounts and approximately $150M in customer assets before being acquired by one of the world’s 20 largest banks. We are an early-stage company building from the ground up. That means talking directly with customers, moving quickly, testing assumptions, and creating products around real problems rather than existing playbooks. Our ambition is to make it substantially easier for businesses and independent professionals in emerging markets to earn globally, receive and manage dollars, run their finances, and grow.
