The Rails Under Your First Slice of SpaceX
Templum is the roughly 30-person infrastructure company quietly wiring private markets - the reason a SoFi member can now buy into OpenAI, Anthropic, or Stripe without a private banker.
Waza
Waza is a Y Combinator-backed (W23) B2B payments and liquidity platform that helps businesses in emerging markets - starting with Nigeria and Ghana - pay global suppliers, hold multi-currency balances, and access USD without the friction of traditional correspondent banking. Founded in 2023 by fintech veterans Maxwell Obi and Emmanuel Igbodudu, the company processes hundreds of millions of dollars in annual payment volume and in 2025 launched Lync, a multi-currency banking product positioned as an alternative to Mercury for African startups.
Huma Finance
Huma Finance is the first PayFi (Payment Financing) network, a blockchain protocol that lets businesses and payment providers borrow stablecoin liquidity against real-world receivables and invoices, settling cross-border payments and card transactions in seconds instead of days. Liquidity providers deposit USDC and earn double-digit yield sourced from the fees borrowers pay for that instant settlement. Founded in 2022 and built natively on Solana, Huma has processed more than $4.5 billion in transaction volume and launched its HUMA governance token in May 2025.
Fispoke
Fispoke is a Florida-based fintech that gives independent financial advisors the private-banking toolkit normally reserved for the biggest institutions - without the advisor having to become a bank. Its platform embeds high-yield cash accounts, securities-backed loans, mortgages, advisor-branded credit cards, and business financing into the software advisors already use, handling the infrastructure, compliance, and execution behind the scenes. Founded in 2023 by Robert Clare and led by a bench of former wealth and banking executives, Fispoke raised over $2 million in seed capital and has partnered with First Rate and Wealthbox to bridge the long-standing gap between wealth management and banking.
Vested
Vested is a Miami-based fintech that helps startup employees turn their stock options into real value without paying out of pocket. It funds the cost of exercising options - the strike price, estimated taxes and fees - in exchange for a slice of the shares if and when a liquidity event happens. Alongside the capital, Vested offers free tools: an equity dashboard, the 'Vestimate' valuation estimate, outcome simulators and an Equity 101 education library, so option-holders can understand, track and act on equity that would otherwise expire unused.
