Xendit: From Failed Bitcoin Startup To Raising Over $500M

After a dramatic pivot from a failed Bitcoin startup at Y Combinator, Xendit has since raised over US$500 million since 2015, growing into a payments unicorn.

Founder and CEO Moses Lo joins us to share his 10-year journey, detailing their "simplicity, speed, and service" competitive edge, their expansion into a financing business, and the lessons learned from navigating Southeast Asia's fragmented markets.

We discuss:

  • The early pivots from Bitcoin remittance to a payments powerhouse.

  • Their "simplicity, speed, and service" strategy for winning in fragmented markets.

  • The expansion into financing, underwriting loans against payment flows.

  • Their strategic expansion from Southeast Asia into Latin America.

For founders and leaders in the tech space, this is a deep dive into navigating pivots, scaling in Southeast Asia, and tackling new markets.
