Many web3 projects have a significant portion of their treasury in crypto, and paying for expenses like travel bills, SaaS tools subscriptions can be a headache as offramping often comes with friction points.
Having spoken to a few founders in web3 startups & DAOs, often times these teams would rather pay for such expenses using their personal accounts, and then later get reimbursed.
But that’s a messy way to build a web3 project.
Enter Rain, a corporate card for web3 projects. Rain’s mission is to allow you to spend in crypto, without ever needing a fiat bank account.
Their platform is non-custodial, integrates with Gnosis Safe and allows you to have as many virtual cards as you’d like for your team.
On Episode 46, I spoke to its co-founder, Charles Naut.
