With hopa, we are building the future of freelancer cross-border payments to emerging markets, starting with Africa 🌍 🏗 How do we do this❓ We enable businesses to pay in Euros and we send USD Stablecoins or Bitcoin to freelancers, whom we also offer a possibility through our partners to exchange their Crypto into local currency. This way we offer each party involved their preferred means of payment & make the payment process 10x cheaper 📉 & 10x more efficient 🎯 Why do we do this❓ 1. Paying freelancers in emerging markets is a pain for European businesses 🤕 ✅ it takes up to 7 days for payment settlement 💸 payment providers charge up to 20% transaction fees 🔧 the payment process is highly manual for businesses & everything is built on legacy infrastructure 2. Demographic change in Western markets will lead us to a talent gap of 85 million people by 2030, which results in trillions of dollars in lost business opportunities. With hopa, we help eliminating the biggest barrier of entry 🚧 for freelance talent in emerging markets to work with businesses based in Europe: Payments 💸
