Janus

Global trade is moved by an invisible network of independent freight forwarders. We've spent months on the ground meeting them in Hamburg, New York, São Paulo, and Kuala Lumpur

Starting this week, we'll share their stories in their words.

Where does money stop today? “With the banks.” @callyolat’s Toyosi Abolarin on cross-border friction, credit from payment data, and why founders should just start. #GlobalTalks

Over the last few months, we've met people who move global trade.

They talk about solving problems. Building trust. Relationships over business.

And every one of them has learned the hard way that moving money across borders is slow and expensive.

That’s the part we’re fixing

We asked freight forwarders how they ended up in the industry that moves everything you own.

Almost none of them chose it. They all used the same word. Accidentally.

And they are all still here, years later, loving it.

Janus was awarded an SCF #45 grant from @StellarOrg.

Freight moves across borders in days. The payments behind it still crawl through correspondent banks. We are building carrier payments and customer invoicing for freight forwarders on Stellar.
