Fintech · New York City, United States · Founded 2021

Raincards.xyz is a pioneering startup focused on revolutionizing corporate finance within the Web3 ecosystem. Founded by Farooq Malik and Charles Naut, who bring extensive experience in structured finance, credit underwriting, and workforce management, Rain aims to bridge the gap between digital assets and traditional fiat money systems. Rain offers a secure spend management platform that allows decentralized organizations, such as DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations), protocols, networks, and other Web3 projects, to manage their finances seamlessly. Unlike traditional financial technology (fintech) products that rely on outdated infrastructure, Rain leverages cutting-edge technology and blockchain (on-chain) infrastructure to provide instant and secure transactions. This means that Rain members can make real-world purchases faster than receiving a two-factor authentication (2FA) text from a centralized exchange. The company operates in the rapidly growing Web3 market, which includes blockchain-based projects and decentralized finance (DeFi) initiatives. Rain's business model revolves around providing a spend management solution that integrates digital assets with fiat currency systems, ensuring that Web3 teams can operate efficiently without compromising on the ability to transact with traditional merchants worldwide. Rain makes money by partnering with licensed card issuers in various jurisdictions, offering a platform that supports self-custody, institutional custody, and other custody solutions. This allows Web3 builders to access essential business tools and manage their finances effectively. By providing a direct payment pipeline, Rain connects Web3 companies with vendors, facilitating smoother and faster transactions. In summary, Rain is a transformative spend management platform tailored for Web3 teams, enabling them to manage their finances securely and efficiently while maintaining interoperability with traditional fiat systems.
