Non US founder - Handle International Payments
I'll go first.
I won a hackathon got some grants in USDC. I had to first transfer that money to Altitude, then transfer it to US bank account and then to my indian bank account. It took so much time and lost a lot in fees.
I talked to dozens of founders in India, SE Asia, and LatAm. Everyone was running the same workarounds:
Routing money through a friend's US account
Using P2P off-ramps
Just paying the tax and hoping nothing got audited
What's your current setup? Are you using Stripe Atlas, Deel, Wise, a local bank hack, something else?
What's working, and what's the biggest pain point that nothing solves cleanly?
Genuinely curious — building StableCorp specifically to fix this, and I want to make sure we're solving the right version of the problem.
