About

From ski racing at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics to building Float Finance, the through-line has been the same: pick a hard goal, commit fully, and never giving up. At Float, we're building a one-stop financial platform for businesses; non-dilutive funding (including medium-sized loans), multi-currency accounts, FX, and payments, all in one place. What sets us apart is how effortless we've made it: opening a multi-currency account or getting a loan takes minutes, not weeks. It's almost absurd how smooth the experience is, and that's the point. Finance should feel like a tailwind, not a tax on growth.
