TAPAYA.RECAP
MAY | 2026
The last few weeks at Tapaya have been surreal in the best possible way. We went from announcing our €1M pre-seed round to speaking on global stages, traveling across Europe and the US and meeting the banks, founders and partners genuinely shaping the future of payments.
A lot has been happening behind the scenes and this month reminded us exactly why we love building in this space.
We took second place at the STRV Hackathon and winning $10,000 in Expo credits, private sessions with Expo and STRV senior engineers and features across Expo channels. A few amazing days surrounded by incredibly talented builders and developers. CLICK HERE
Our CEO Laura spent a day at Unbundled by The FinTechers in Prague connecting with fintech founders, operators and ecosystem leaders discussing the future of payments, infrastructure and innovation across the region. CLICK HERE
Roman and Petr also attended the Mastercard Customer Tech Conference in Berlin focused on payment infrastructure, routing architecture, resiliency and the future of software-based terminals. CLICK HERE
Our event madness is not over!
This week the tapaya. team is already at in the Baltics for Latitude59 meeting founders, investors, banks and payment leaders from across Europe. We are pitching on the future stage here and we will let you know the results in our next followup.
In a few weeks we will continue the momentum at upcoming Forbes events and more fintech gatherings across the region.
Keep an eye out for more updates from Latitude59 over the next few days.
It has been a packed schedule and we are enjoying every step of the journey.
More until next time and follow us for the latest updates:
