Project A’s Post

Cross-border payments shouldn't slow down ambitious businesses. Yet most companies still face expensive transfers routed through multiple intermediaries, costing time and margin. Niklas Höjman and Mahendra P S Katoch saw this friction clearly. Their expertise from Revolut, Wise, Goldman Sachs, and Citi positioned them to build something better: Riva Money. Riva's approach is pragmatic. Whether blockchain rails or traditional fiat channels work best for each transfer, they adapt. This flexibility transforms payments from complexity into a seamless customer experience: everything starts and ends in traditional currency, with Riva finding the smartest route in the background. The market fundamentals are aligning: stablecoins are gaining traction, regulations are clarifying, yet payment infrastructure remains stuck in the past. Riva's hybrid system cuts through this gap, delivering both the speed businesses need and the adaptability today's global markets demand. That's why we are proud to lead their $3M pre-seed round.
