About Pillow

Pillow is a seed-funded organisation that aims to solve $1 trillion adoption challenge in decentralised finance.

Decentralised Finance (DeFi) provides a viable alternative to traditional finance for users seeking better financial infrastructure that works to benefit the users. DeFi is transparent, capital efficient, and democratic in nature.

However, getting into DeFi today is a very challenging process. Consumers should not be expected to understand blockchain technicalities to avail a financial service. This is a serious adoption problem in DeFi, and one that Pillow aims to solve.

Pillow is building DeFi services and interfaces that make it a rewarding, safe, and joyful experience for users, by creating viable alternatives to traditional finance incumbents.

Pillow is backed by top VC firms and angel investors from the fintech, crypto, and startup world.
