Mission & Key Concepts

Payments & Compliance For Global Workforces

Rise is a Web3 enabled platform helping businesses onboard, manage and pay local/international contractors while ensuring full compliance and alleviating burdensome tax processes. 

We streamline administrative tasks and payments for businesses (traditional and DAOs).

Our mission at Rise is to empower businesses and contractors with the right tools to collaborate and grow together. We’ve created Rise Pay for companies to manage and streamline all administrative tasks related to their independent contractors via one powerful dashboard with compliance and efficiency in mind.

Problem / Solution

Businesses with treasury in fiat and/or crypto are emerging at an unprecedented pace. They currently lack HR and payroll tools to pay their teams leveraging both types of treasury in a compliant and efficient manner.

Traditional businesses need to stay competitive and offer better wages and systems to their workforces. Providing an advanced financial ecosystem and crypto options to their workforce drives talent attraction and retention.

By working with any kind of treasury (fiat or crypto) and helping businesses with team compliance, Rise is a powerful on ramp from Web2 to Web3 in the HR/Payroll category with limitless opportunities for our workforce's financial prosperity
