About Us

We’re building the world’s leading cross‑border fintech for emerging markets—empowering families, fueling local economies, and changing how millions access financial services.

Since our launch in 2019, we have transformed how money moves across borders with operations spanning six of seven continents and covering both the busiest and most underserved remittance corridors. We capitalized on the shift from banks to phones, bringing digital finance to places where traditional systems never reached. The next stage of growth will fuel a network of services and products designed to make money more accessible to diaspora communities, including local cards and additional savings and payments features.

We’re growing fast, backed by world‑class investors, and scaling a product that blends real‑world impact with cutting‑edge fintech innovation.

Here’s a Little More

• Founded by Harvard grads and 3‑time founders who previously built Segovia (acquired) and GiveDirectly (>$300M revenue, fastest‑growing NGO in the world)
• Backed by top investors including Spark Capital, Canaan, Reid Hoffman, Breyer Capital, Unbound, Wamda, and more
• Built by global top performers from Bain, Google, McKinsey, Uber, Checkout, Bolt, and beyond— we move fast, stay humble, and care deeply about our mission
• Truly global team—250+ people, 50+ nationalities, 50+ languages
• Guided by our values—ownership, impact, humility, and heart— in deed, not just word

Role

Taptap Send is looking for a seasoned, strategic operator to join as a Founders Associate. You’ll work directly with our Founder and senior leadership, owning high‑stakes, cross‑functional projects that will define the future of the business. From the very start, you’ll be in the driver’s seat—crafting strategy, steering execution, and making an immediate impact.

Every day, we’re moving billions of dollars across continents, serving diasporas in dozens of countries, and navigating the beautifully complex world of international finance. As we grow, we need someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and brings both analytical firepower and relentless execution to the table. This isn’t a role for the sidelines—it’s for builders who want to operate at the heart of a company scaling globally with urgency and purpose.

Why now? Taptap Send is at a pivotal inflection point—our user base is growing rapidly, new markets are opening, and the challenges are more complex and exciting than ever. As a Founders Associate, you’ll be trusted with some of our most pressing and high‑leverage opportunities, have close proximity to Leadership, exposure to every part of the business, and the chance to help architect the systems, processes, and strategy that will power our next stage of growth.
