Excited to introduce Bella 🐙
Most AI assistants are built for technical people who speak English and developers. We're building AI agents for everyone else, right where they already are: in chat.
Bella lives in WhatsApp and Telegram. Send her a voice note or a message in your own language and she gets it done: reminders, your inbox, your calendar, pictures, writing help.
She understands multiple languages and replies out loud in a native voice, whether you speak Swahili, Yoruba or Hindi, Portuguese or Mandarin.
No app to download and nothing to learn. Just say hi.

The best stablecoin infrastructure companies often start as single-product-only companies.
That’s exactly what happened with NALA.
Both our consumer and B2b businesses are on track for record months this July 2026 despite all the challenges we have faced.
Super proud of our team at nala and all our customers who BELIEVE in what we do.
Thanks to @rparekh and @chuk_xyz for the conversation.

2027 imebaki miezi 6 tu.
2016 ilikuwa miaka 10 iliyopita.
COVID ilianza zaidi ya miaka 6 iliyopita.
Waliozaliwa 1990 wamebakiza miaka 14 tu kutimiza miaka 50.
Na leo, 2007 iko mbali zaidi kuliko 2040.
Muda unakimbia.
Acha kusubiri. Anza sasa.

I’m excited to announce that NALA has secured a $50M facility from LIQUIDITY and MUFG-backed Mars Growth Capital 🚀
Over the past year, demand for faster, compliant global stablecoin payments infrastructure has accelerated significantly across the US, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
As we’ve scaled, we’ve continued investing deeply in regulation, infrastructure, and gross profit margins:
- 17 regulatory approvals and licenses globally, making NALA one of the most licensed fintechs at our stage. (we just got a new license yesterday!)
- Nearly 50% of capital from our last fundraise still in the bank
- Consumer business reached 64% gross profit margins last month
- Rafiki, our B2B infrastructure business, reached 80% gross profit margins
- Signed some of the largest banks and global remittance companies, including MoneyGram who are live customers. (some major new ones will be announced soon!)
This facility gives us the ability to continue scaling our global payments infrastructure with long-term alignment and flexibility as demand continues to grow.
The next era of payments will be real-time, programmable, and borderless.
I’ve never been more excited about where NALA will be in the next 24 months.
we've got some big plans and we’re just getting started.

We’re just getting started 🌍⚡️
