From Los Angeles Times
Co-founded in 2023 by Venezuelan Jesus Castillo, who casts himself as a David on the verge of vanquishing the mainstream banking Goliaths, Kontigo says its 1.2 million users across Latin America and South America have moved over $1 billion through its platform.
Castillo co-founded Kontigo as a blockchain technology to address everyday financial problems in Venezuela, where hyperinflation and a lack of access to credit have made it hard for people to hold on to their savings.
To U.S. investors, Castillo presented an image of his startup as a plucky band of striving immigrants with big dreams, and early investors said they were drawn to the vision of a platform to help the truly needy.
In promotional materials, the company said Castillo and his colleagues built the company while trading off overnight shifts driving for Uber to stay afloat as they worked to build a financial system fit for “multiplanetary abundance” and to avoid “exporting Earth’s monetary and economic failures” to Mars.
