At Coinbase, we're building a platform that facilitates the easy conduct of the digital currency Bitcoin for consumers and merchants. This includes the buying and selling of Bitcoin, secure storage of Bitcoin in the cloud, and a suite of merchant tools. The vision is for the platform to be the grid that powers payments across the internet, much like email, Twitter, Facebook power communications.
The past 24 months have been incredible that has seen us raise $106M from A16z, Union Square Ventures, and the recent $75M Series C led by DFJ. We've also grown from 8 to 55 people in the past year. In the past 24 months, our user base has grown 210x and the value of transactions processed on our platform has grown 300x.

Wanelo (pronounced Wa-Nee-Lo) stands for Want, Need, Love. It is a community marketplace where people can discover, curate and buy unique products for friends, family or themselves. By creating a platform where products and stores are organized by people, individuals can define their personal style and tastes, making the process of finding goods and gifts easy and enjoyable.
Most recently, our iPhone app has cracked the top 30 apps in the iTunes App Store, which has resulted in the performance and scaling challenges for the team to work on. You should check out our engineering blog to get further details of what we're tackling: http://building.wanelo.com.
