The paywith.glass team has taken part in an intense screening process at Startupbootcamp Selection Days with 20 other international startups in front of mentors and partners and the Startupbootcamp managing team at PwC HQ in the Netherlands on 29th and 30th of January. paywith.glass was chosen out of 400+ applications during a 4-month international scouting period when the startups went through a rigorous selection for their chance to join the next accelerator cohort.

Ernst Hoestra, Managing Director of the Startupbootcamp Commerce program, commented: “The startup ecosystem in the Netherlands is thriving, and we are happy to be bringing the 11 most promising commerce and transaction companies to Amsterdam to have them working directly with our team, corporate partners, mentors, and investors. Selected startups are operating on the verge of Logistics Solutions, Security & Fraud, AI, Data & Behavioural Analytics, Ad & Marketing Solutions, Sales Tech and Retail Tech industries. They will now have the opportunity to test, iterate and scale their ventures both locally and globally. We are glad to have Satellite Moving Devices Wireless joining the program as well.”
Paul Sisnett, CTO of Satellite Moving Devices Wireless, commented: “paywith.glass represents our contribution to the second financial revolution and our interpretation of the financial services model in a post-currency era. We are honoured to have been selected to become a part of the Startupbootcamp family and to take this landmark journey with such a visionary and globally influential network.”
paywith.glass represents a philosophical shift in the way we think money and commerce in general will be viewed. The future of finance, payments and money as we know it will not feature a single currency or value store that becomes the de facto standard unit of commerce. It will instead be a world dominated by a global, semi-autonomous, DLT-powered network, which performs real-time atomic swaps of currencies or value stores, as a function, not a feature of trade/payment.
Ultimately, the fundamental purpose of a payments facility is to efficiently and seamlessly exchange one value for another value, irrespective of the vehicle or currency used. paywith.glass is a universal payments platform designed to allow the world to utilize its money in any shape or form, with any entry point or application conceivable.
