Breeze

In 2022, our founders - former Stripe engineers Millie Yang and Peng Du - recognized a critical gap in the payments landscape: businesses were struggling to accept both traditional and crypto payments without juggling multiple complex integrations, compliance requirements, and infrastructure overhead. The existing solutions were fragmented, expensive, and time-consuming to manage.

They built Breeze to solve this problem. Breeze is an AI-powered Merchant of Record platform that provides an all-in-one solution for payments, fraud protection, chargebacks, and compliance. By operating as the merchant of record, Breeze handles all the regulatory complexity, tax collection, and customer support so businesses can focus on building and scaling their products. The platform enables seamless processing of both fiat and cryptocurrency payments through a single API integration, supporting use cases ranging from gaming and mobile apps to tokenized assets and digital goods.

Backed by Sequoia Capital, MultiCoin Capital, and The Chainsmokers, Breeze has grown to process over $1 billion annually and serves customers globally with 24/7 support coverage. The company is headquartered in Santa Monica, California, and continues to expand its team of talented engineers and product builders who are passionate about simplifying payments infrastructure for modern businesses.
