    WHO WE ARE

    The founders of WeTrust have been passionate about financial inclusion for some time, and when blockchain technology came along, we realized this could be a way to improve financial inclusion on a global scale. Further inspired by this article about the "unexotic underclass" http://miter.mit.edu/the-unexotic-underclass/ -- we embarked on this journey.
    After successfully raising funding from the crowd via a 'kickstarter for software' blockchain token sale, we are now well on our journey to improve access to safe, fairly priced, and basic financial products such as savings/ lending and insurance.

    In March 2017, WeTrust successfully executed one of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns in history by raising over $5m from over 1600 contributors who believe in our cause to use technology for good, and use technology to improve financial inclusion. At present date, over 2000+ members are in our slack community and are our evangelists and supporters.

    We are now looking for like minded individuals to join our mission, and leverage this excitement and growing movement.
    We are based in downtown Mountain View, only 2 minutes walking from the Caltrain station!

    OUR CORE VALUES

    We set ambitious goals & drive toward results
    We encourage constructive debate & unite behind our decisions
    We test new ideas & take intelligent risks

    We are fearless
    Risk and change advances the human race, and extreme risk is faced when trying to disrupt the existing financial system. We are fearless and have conviction that we can make a difference.

    Shoot for 10X, Not 10%
    As a startup, we can outcompete larger organizations by leveraging the synergy that comes from our speed, talent, and creativity. Large corporations focus on 10% optimizations on a large base, we focus on 10X opportunities that move the needle and make a difference.
