My friend Yoseph is coming to Japan✈️ If you're interested in the African market and trends in stablecoins, please contact me to arrange a meeting. Yoseph is the founder of LAVA, a venture capital fund that invests in financial and infrastructure startups connecting Africa and the world. Over the past five years, Yoseph has invited members of the Ethereum core team, including Vitalik and Aya, on learning trips to Africa, providing opportunities to deepen their understanding of the local context. INTMAX has also benefited from this👏 LAVA is supported by world-class founders and capital allocators, including Brian Armstrong (Coinbase CEO), Matt Huang and Fred Ehrsam (founders of Paradigm), Dylan Field (Figma CEO), as well as founders from Notion, Base, Polygon, South Korea's major conglomerate Kolon, TADA / MVL, and funds operating in the US, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. The startups LAVA invests in are generating billions of dollars in stablecoin transaction volume across Africa, building "pipes (infrastructure)" for more efficient capital movement than traditional banking infrastructure. These payment infrastructures are utilized by global companies, fintech firms, and even banks, efficiently facilitating cross-border fund transfers. Feel free to reach out!
