Our take
Transak, founded with the mission to streamline the complex process of connecting data and funds to users' blockchain wallets, is on a journey to simplify the future of finance. Presently, this process involves intricate account creation, complex form-filling, document submission, and monetary deposits.
Transak's vision revolves around blockchain wallets becoming a central element in the financial landscape, potentially serving as a universal sign-on gateway. This perspective aligns with the remarkable growth of the global blockchain technology market, projected to witness a staggering compound annual growth rate of 82.4% from 2021 to 2028.
As it looks ahead, Transak is committed to sustaining its rapid expansion, bolstered by recent funding. This infusion of capital will be deployed to bolster global coverage and fortify the development of its onboarding solution. Notably, Transak is poised to play a pivotal role in the intersection of decentralised and centralised finance, with a particular focus on Web3 games and financial applications.

Ownership mindset isn't just a slogan here. People are trusted to know how to do their job best. If there's something you see needs doing you're actively encouraged to go do it. Ask for forgiveness rather than permission

Autonomy
Jan 2022
I really like how people are upfront and direct in their opinions and feedback. Everyone is encouraged weekly to highlight the good work they've seen from other team members. It also means when there are concerns or frustrations you can resolve them straight away in a kind and respectful way, avoiding bitching and politics
