Shakepay

About

Shakepay exists to solve a fundamental problem: the traditional financial system incentivizes borrowing and spending rather than saving for the future. Every year, millions of Canadians watch their savings erode as their hard-earned money sits in accounts that fail to preserve purchasing power. Shakepay is changing that by making Bitcoin - the soundest money to ever exist - accessible to everyone. Through a beautifully simple app, over one million Canadians are now able to buy, earn, and save in bitcoin, taking control of their financial future with a monetary system designed for the long term rather than short-term consumption.

Launched in 2015 in Montreal, Shakepay has grown from a bold idea into a trusted financial platform that has facilitated over $10 billion in digital currency transactions. The company's mission is to usher in a Bitcoin golden age - a period of human flourishing enabled by honest money that doesn't debase. Shakepay gives Canadians their fair shake through innovative products like the Shakepay Card (earning bitcoin cashback on everyday purchases), Shakepay Interest (earning BTC on CAD balances), and the iconic 'shake to earn' feature. Regulated across all Canadian provinces and territories, backed by world-class investors, and SOC 2 certified, Shakepay combines the revolutionary potential of Bitcoin with the security and trust required for mainstream adoption.

RecargaPay

In 2002, Rodrigo Teijeiro founded Tarjetas Telefónicas in Argentina, motivated by a personal need and a purpose to connect people through a more affordable and convenient way to pay for international calls. What began as a website for phone cards would evolve into something far more impactful. By 2010, recognizing the growing mobile market, the company transformed into Recarga.com - the first website to offer mobile top-ups with credit card payments in Brazil. The evolution continued in 2015 when Recarga.com became the RecargaPay app, with the company deciding to focus exclusively on serving Brazilian consumers. Today, RecargaPay has grown into a comprehensive financial super app serving over 12 million Brazilians, processing more than USD 4.5 billion in annual transaction volume.

Limehome

In 2018, our founders recognized a gap in the hospitality industry: travelers were seeking something between traditional hotels and short-term rentals - a space that offered the quality and reliability of a hotel with the comfort and design of a modern apartment. They realized that traditional hotel operations were burdened by inefficiencies, high overhead costs, and outdated guest experiences. So they built Limehome - a radically digital approach to hospitality that would streamline operations while delivering exceptional stays across Europe. Starting with just 10 people in Munich, Limehome has grown into a team of over 300 employees working across offices in Munich and Madrid. The company's digital-first model eliminates the need for reception desks and onsite staff, using smart technology to enable seamless check-ins and contactless stays. Today, Limehome operates more than 325 locations across 10 countries, having revolutionized how people travel, live, and work across Europe by combining premium design, sustainability, and the power of technology to create effortless guest experiences.
