The company
A team building
better rails for the dollar.
Stake is a group of engineers and operators in San Francisco. We build infrastructure that makes moving US dollars around the world simpler, faster, and more reliable.
Why we started
The dollar moves the world. The way we move it has not kept up.
Trillions of dollars cross borders every day, but the systems underneath were built for a slower era. Payments are slow, costs are hard to predict, and visibility is poor. We started Stake to change that, one piece of infrastructure at a time.
We are early, and we are building carefully. When there is more to share, we will.
How we work
A few things we do not compromise on.
Money is no place for bugs
When you move other people's money, almost right is wrong. We build, test, and review with that in mind.
We own what we ship
The people who build a system are responsible for how it behaves in production, including on the worst day.
Simple beats clever
Complex systems fail in complex ways. We keep ours as simple as the problem allows.
