The Problem

The financial freedom of cross-border employees is severely restricted by the traditional financial system. Employers are suffering from complexity of paying salaries across the globe, not even speaking of the hefty fees.

Employees need to wait days or weeks for their hard-earned salaries to reach their families, are scammed by banks or have to carry large sums of cash at their own risk. The status quo needs to change and cutting-edge financial technology has to be used for the benefit of the hard-working people that power the global economy.

Our Mission

Bring state-of-the-art financial technology to every worker on Earth (and beyond)

We have a deep belief that amazing financial technology has already been and will be built, but it is very far from reaching true global adoption. There are millions of hard-working people who do not have access to the most basic financial tools and it is our ultimate task to bring those tools to every worker in the universe (yes, even future human colonies on Mars).

The Kadmos Name

The name Kadmos derives from a hero in Greek mythology. Kadmos is said to have been responsible for bringing the Phoenician alphabet to the Greeks, a journey inspired by his family, during which he defeated a dragon in an heroic battle. He is an innovative and brave figure, and a conduit for technological change, who goes to great length to do what is right for his family.

The Kadmos Team

Kadmos was founded in 2021, by MIT-graduates Justus Schmueser and Sasha Makarovych together with highly experienced Head of Engineering Sergio Lopez (ex tech. co-founder at Moss).

In the spirit of our mission, our team has almost as many nationalities as it has members, who all work together in the heart of Berlin. Check us out on LinkedIn and, if you think you would fit in, visit our Careers page.

His journey serves as both an inspiration and a guiding light for our company, as we strive to bring cutting-edge financial technology to every migrant worker.
