Bringing fintech to life

Why it matters

As a Brazilian, it's terribly hard to move your money out of the country. The same is true in many South American countries. We want to make that easier for our users so that they can 1) guard against inflation, and 2) invest in higher growth markets to earn meaningful returns. It's an attempt to level the playing field by being a bridge to the US economy.

Redesigning the shopping experience

Building towards a bigger brand

Why it matters

Beyond partnering with charities on a regular basis, Causebox is an important platform for socially and environmentally conscious startups to enter into the market. They connect founders with a huge community of ethical consumers via inclusion in their box, and increase the chances that those startups find their tribe. I co-founded a socially conscious beverage startup called Everly that was featured by Causebox, and it was an amazing opportunity for us.

Building a toolkit for personality

Diving deep into the science

Why it matters

Professional relationships are an important part of our lives, but building and maintaining them is complex: every team is a unique combination of personalities and relational dynamics. Crystal equips people with tools that help teams communicate with greater efficiency, efficacy, and empathy. More personalized communication leads to stronger teams and a better work experience for everyone.
