The chief technical officer (CTO) of Japanese crypto exchange DeCurret has teamed up with Yusaku Maezawa, the founder of clothing e-commerce giant ZOZO, to co-create a new fintech payments business.
Maezawa is a Japanese billionaire and entrepreneur, and his Start Today enterprise debuted in the late 1990s, with the hugely popular ZOZO following.
Per a tweet from Maezawa, the new firm is now ready to hire “10-20 employees” using the Start Today name, which he retains, and will reinvent the payment system “from scratch.” He explained that the company would go “beyond money distribution” and develop “multiple payment services” and “create a unique currency sphere.”
