Inspired by her auntie, a first generation immigrant who worked hard to send money back home to the Philippines, only to have to pay a whole month’s worth of salary every year in transaction fees, Rebecca Kersch knew there had to be a better way. That’s why she founded TANG App, a payment platform that lets anyone from the US (or other countries) send money and phone credit (a new addition in response to Covid-19) to the Philippines, and eventually to the whole world. Think: a global Venmo.
Rebecca shares about how she built TANG App, from facing tons of rejection to finally finding her tribe to building her team and now growing the business while staying super involved on the ground. She has an attitude that no task is too small for her, despite being the Founder and CEO of the company, and she genuinely cares about connecting with and listening to each and every customer.
She also shares about her personal background of being a Dutch-Filipina who grew up mostly in the Netherlands and how that has impacted her journey toward entrepreneurship.
Tune in to hear all this and more in a fast-paced and fun episode!
