RedotPay Nawalan ng 5 Execs, Target ₱8.96B Round After ₱11.58B Haul
Nag-explore ng ₱8.96 billion ($150 million) funding round ang RedotPay para maabot ang ₱238.82 billion ($4 billion) valuation at ituloy ang US IPO, kahit na nag-exit ang limang senior executives ng Hong Kong-based stablecoin payments company sa nakaraang taon, kabilang ang dalawang compliance chiefs.
Key Takeaway
Ang executive churn at aggressive fundraising ng RedotPay ay signal ng growing pains habang nag-scale ito toward a potential billion-dollar IPO.
Hindi bababa sa limang senior executives ang umalis sa RedotPay sa loob ng isang taon, kabilang ang dalawang compliance chiefs, base sa ulat ng Bloomberg na inilabas noong Miyerkules.
Nag-raise ng $194 million ang Hong Kong-based stablecoin payments company sa tatlong funding rounds sa 2025 lang. Nag-close ang $40 million Series A noong March na pinamunuan ng Lightspeed, sinundan ng $47 million strategic round noong September kasama ang Coinbase Ventures, tapos $107 million Series B noong December na pinangunahan ng Goodwater Capital.
Patuloy na nangunguna sa key functions ang RedotPay CEO na si Michael Gao at ang chief operating officer, sabi ng company sa Cointelegraph 22 minutes bago nag-live ang article. May isang co-founder na naman na nag-oversee ngayon ng finance, investor relations, at corporate development. Ang CFO position ay vacant pa, pero sinabi ng RedotPay na puwede silang mag-appoint ng isa later kapag kailangan.
Nag-flag ang ulat ng Bloomberg ng executive turnover, China sensitivities, demanding work culture, at extended hours. Sumagot naman ang RedotPay na umuunlad lang sila from early-stage startup to unicorn, at nag-adjust ng organizational structure at talent pool para suportahan ang growth. Sinabi ng company na wala silang urgency para mag-secure ng bagong funding dahil malakas ang operating cash flow at liquidity nila, pero open pa rin sila sa investors.
Nag-explore ang RedotPay ng $150 million funding round at target nila ang company valuation na higit sa $4 billion, ayon sa Bloomberg. Isinasaalang-alang din ng firm ang US IPO kasama ang JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, at Jefferies bilang advisors.
Nag-aalok ang company ng app na paired sa Visa card para sa stablecoin spending, yield services, at remittance features. Nag-operate ang RedotPay sa higit 100 markets at may higit 250 employees globally, at karamihan ay nakabase sa Hong Kong.
