We began with a scribble on Paul Allen’s whiteboard.
Paul Allen, an American business magnate, investor, and philanthropist, had a vision to create better money: He found it confounding that he, with his billions, would pay less to transfer money than the poorest amongst us. So, Jeff Kramer, Paul Allen’s technical advisor at the time, got to work with his colleagues at Vulcan and leading experts in banking, payments, and distributed systems and Transparent was born.
Making money more equitable by making it more efficient and independent of any one financial institution. This is the driving force behind everything we do. We believe that by bringing more competition to a market dominated with just a few big players and by making the financial system more efficient, we can dramatically unlock possibilities for both businesses and the people they serve.

“Blockchain technology is rooted in decades of advances in distributed systems and cryptography, and it's at the center of banking and financial innovation today. Based on Transparent's strategic partnerships and solution, we believe this investment represents an exciting opportunity and will provide tremendous value to the future of on-demand settlements.”
