CrossCoin Ventures funds technologists and entrepreneurs who are passionate about using the Ripple protocol to make a difference in the world of payments, transactions, and currency markets. Some of the particular areas we are excited about include remittance, transactions, and micro-payments. But the scope of possibilities in this area is wide; if you have a great idea or strong coding chops, we want to hear your story. Ripple is an open source, peer-to-peer payments system. Ripple lets you transfer any asset across the network, with automatic currency conversion and fast settlement, while featuring the irreversibility, distributed robustness, and negligible fees that come with cryptocurrency technology. Ripple makes any transfer of value cheaper, faster, and more secure, empowering the success of ambitious business models that disrupt the status quo and have the potential to create world-changing, profitable companies.
