Founders Associate

Taptap Send is backed by top VCs (Spark, Canaan, Reid Hoffman, Breyer Capital, etc.), rapidly growing and a great place for those looking for both impact and a fast-paced tech startup environment. Read more about the journey in Reid Hoffman’s words or TechCrunch article Launched in 2019, Taptap is tapping into a transformative shift in global finance: from banks to phones. While this has affected wealthier countries as well, it has been nothing short of a revolution for the emerging markets where the overwhelming majority of population had been unable to access digital finance previously. Taptap Send allows immigrants to send money home instantly and with no fee*, saving money in the process. With a formal market size of >700B alone, we’ve got a lot more saving to do for our users. Our mission is to reduce inequity by helping immigrants move money home, and become the leading cross-border fintech for emerging markets. And that’s just the beginning...

*We charge fees for transfers on fixed exchange rate corridors (e.g., XOF, XAF).

Our Investors Spark Capital, Canaan, Reid Hoffman, Breyer Capital (Jim Breyer), Unbound (Shravin Mittal), Wamda (Fadi Ghandour), Firstminute Capital, Slow Ventures (Sam Lessin), Helios Partners (Souleymane Ba), Crossbeam Ventures (Ali Hamed), Nikesh Arora, Samih Toukan, and many other context-specific angels

Taptap Send is looking for a seasoned, strategic operator to join as a Founders Associate. You'll work directly with our Founder and senior leadership, owning high-stakes, cross-functional projects that will define the future of the business. From the very start, you'll be in the driver's seat—crafting strategy, steering execution, and making an immediate impact.

Every day, we’re moving billions of dollars across continents, serving diasporas in dozens of countries, and navigating the beautifully complex world of international finance. As we grow, we need someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and brings both analytical firepower and relentless execution to the table. This isn’t a role for the sidelines—it’s for builders who want to operate at the heart of a company scaling globally with urgency and purpose.

Why now? Taptap Send is at a pivotal inflection point—our user base is growing rapidly, new markets are opening up, and the challenges we face are more complex and exciting than ever. As a Founders Associate, you’ll be trusted with some of our most pressing and high-leverage opportunities. You’ll have close proximity to Leadership, exposure to every part of the business, and the chance to help architect the systems, processes, and strategy that will power our next stage of growth.
