Matt Oppenheimer created Remitly to help the millions of immigrants around the world who make the huge sacrifice of leaving their families behind to live and work in another country. These unsung heroes deliver on their promises to take care of those they love and provide them with upward mobility, improving their quality of life. Remitly is based in Seattle, WA. We first invested in Remitly in 2012, leading their Seed round just as the company was lighting up their first remittances corridor. We were impressed with Matt and Josh’s vision to disrupt a very large global market with a customer-first, mobile-first solution, combined with their early demonstration of an ability to execute against that vision despite significant entry barriers. Remitly has raised over $150M and provides immigrants with a best-in-class remittances experience across over 300 corridors at a rate of over $5B in remittances annually.
