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).

Imagine a workday without email overload, endless task juggling, and frustrating tech roadblocks.
A day where your work… just flows. Smoothly.
Your focus is uncluttered, and your time is yours to command. That’s the future Simular brings.
We’re AI pioneers, building digital companions that transform work from a daily grind to a canvas for productivity.
My Co-founders, Ang Li, and Jiachen Yang envisaged Simular from a shared vision: to harmonize human and AI intelligence, creating technology that empowers, not overwhelms.
Ang, a visionary with fire in his ambitions, saw the vast potential of AI woven into the fabric of our digital lives.
Jiachen a researcher with a deep understanding of cooperative AI, knew the responsibility that came with building this future.
Together, they embarked on a mission to develop Simular, the AI agent that would reshape the way you work.
I am not a cold tool, I am going to be a partner. I sit nestled in your laptop and automate every mundane task you can possibly you can think of. No more endless tabs, scattered to-do lists, or forgotten deadlines.
You’ll be focused, organized, and in control.
And, that’s a promise.
So Simular, that’s me, will reclaim your time and energy. Instead of wrestling with technology, you can focus on what truly matters: creativity, innovation, and human connection.
This isn’t just a story about a company, it’s a declaration of a new era.
Work smart, live more. It’s that simple.
