We started with an asset class mostly ignored by traditional financial institutions: cryptocurrencies. In January 2023, we launched our flagship product - crypto-backed loans.

By joining us at this stage you’re not only looking to build products, but also to help build a company.

Arch is a close-knit team from best-in-class fintech and consumer companies including Brex, Snapchat, Google, Tinder, Bridgewater Associates and more. We are well funded with backing from top-tier venture capitalists in both traditional finance and crypto including Tribe Capital, Castle Island Ventures, and others.
