Take Shield from hundreds of trade businesses to thousands.
We've moved $600M+ for importers, exporters and wholesalers with a team of 13, and the founders still run sales, with no owner for growth. We're hiring the person who builds the machine that can scale Shield 10-100x.
Businesses that move physical goods have the worst business banking experience.
Our clients move six and seven figure payments every week, often to and from countries where dollars are hard to get. They are too risky for banks and too high-touch for fintechs. Shield gives them USD accounts settled on stablecoins and a Visa business card built around inventory spend.
Stablecoins have moved from experiment to infrastructure. Trade businesses in Latin America already pay in USDT because they have to, and AI agents now make serving them at scale affordable. We know how to win our first hundred clients. The system that wins the next thousand does not exist yet.
