The emerging world is the future. By 2050, Africa’s population is projected to become 2.5 billion. Lack of trust, leadership, and community has led to costly capital that can’t sustain.

Sela is eliminating traditional barriers of entry for capital into the emerging world. Sela introduces trust and transparency into transactions by tracking capital flows and rewarding trustworthy behavior. They utilize artificial intelligence and blockchain to address intractable issues in connecting capital with the emerging markets.

Julie Bissinger is heading operations at Sela.

Previously, she managed and worked on operations teams at Facebook with constituencies ranging from millions of advertisers to the world’s top media outlets, celebrities, and public figures. She has worked in Brazil, Ireland, Nigeria, Singapore, and Switzerland.
