What: With PayGarden merchants can accept major brand gift cards as payment - imagine Stripe, but instead of credit cards, your customers can pay with Starbucks, Walmart, Amazon (& 100 more) gift cards.

See our partnership with Watsi [0] turning major brand cards into life-changing healthcare for people, or Private Internet Access [1] making VPN payment anonymous.

How: Our systems handle millions of dollars, built primarily with Clojure/Script & a dash of Rust.

Us: If you've ever done any work with Clojure, you've likely seen someone from our tiny, incredibly high-leverage team of Xooglers & YC alumni. We've:

- contributed to the cljs compiler [2],

- built cool open-source Clojure/Scripts apps [3],

- given [4] dozens [5] of talks [6] on [7] fun and cutting [8] edge development

- run the #sfcljs & ReasonDojo meetups

You: Love working with others, taking ownership over business concerns while jumping into other parts of the stack to help out. An internal drive to continuously improve, while remaining humble.
