We’re building the future of cross-border payments for the next billion. 2018-2021 - was v1 of the company - doesnt exist. In just 28 months since re-launch in 2022, NALA grew from $0 to $24M in revenue, turned profitable once, and built a moat through an integrated B2B (rafiki.com) infrastructure powering stablecoin payments between the US, UK, EU, Africa and Asia. Raised over $50m - our investors include Accel, Acrew, Y Combinator, Bessemer, and DST Global Partners, alongside awesome founders Alex (Deel), Tarek (Kalshi), Jonas (Monzo), Ryan (Chime), Laura (Alloy) and Vlad (Robinhood).

Odin lets anyone, anywhere launch and run a private investment firm online - think Shopify for Venture Capital and Private Equity. We handle the full back office stack end to end, flexibly: legal structuring, investor onboarding, KYC/AML, payments, tax, reporting, and exits. We administer over $500m in assets, covering investments from pre-seed to pre-IPO. This includes household names like OpenAI and SpaceX but also new companies focusing on tons of cool things like: - Next-gen micronuclear reactors - Atmospheric CO₂ removal at gigaton scale - Asteroid mining - Space-based manufacturing (fiber, alloys, pharmaceuticals) - Crazy biotech eg. wet computers based on human neurons We believe capital is one of the most powerful tools for shaping the world - and more people should be putting it to work. We also have a strong conviction that some of the best capital allocators do not fit the “traditional mould” of a VC or private equity investor. If youve got sector expertise in an interesting field, youve never been an VC / PE investor before but youve thought about it, feel free to reach out.

Bek is a global venture capital firm accompanying a select group of early-stage founders from their earliest days to global scale with relentless, hands-on support. Insiders who adopt an outside perspective, we help exceptional teams succeed.

Our conviction is that early-stage investors can only deliver through focus — which is why we have stayed uncompromisingly disciplined and selective in the nature and number of founders we back, the size of funds we raise, and the caliber of investors we hire.
