At Venmo, we’re working to build a payment experience that's simple, delightful and connected. Since our founding in 2009, we’ve quickly grown from an idea hatched by two college roommates who wanted a better way to pay each other back to the go-to digital wallet that’s known and loved by millions. What started off as a simple SMS platform to send and receive money has evolved into a social payments app allowing people to pay, split and share their experiences.
Our mission is to unlock the next era of financial, creative, and personal freedom. Gemini (NASDAQ: GEMI) envisions a future where crypto will redesign the global financial system, the internet, and money in a way that provides greater choice, independence, and opportunity for all. As a trusted bridge between the traditional financial system and the emerging cryptoeconomy, we are providing access for individuals and institutions to a decentralized future that is more open, fair, and secure.
