Miami based company Ping has officially raised $15 million in a seed fundraise from investors including Y-Combinator, Race Capital, BlockTower, Danhua Capital, Signum Capital and Goat Capital.
The company aims to simplify the process of global payments while also onboarding more Latin Americans to the world of crypto along the way, and their brand new raise will help them continue their journey.
“Ping is the perfect solution for freelancers to get paid and for gig economy platforms like Braintrust, freelancer.com, Upwork to offer to their users,’’ Ping CEO and co-founder Pablo Orlando said in a statement.
“We established a platform that ultimately helps democratize access to higher paid jobs as a result of remote work,” Orlando continued. “Ping enables freelancers and contractors globally to see the possibility of earning in dollars and saving in an account in the USA as the highest possible dream.”
