What we are. Mangomundi is a non-custodial comparison and decision layer for sending money across borders. Individuals use a free comparator; companies use a request-for-quote flow. The product is live in 20 languages, with price data across 320+ country corridors.
The problem. Sending US$200 abroad costs 6.36% on average (World Bank, 2025), about double the UN target of 3%, on roughly US$905B of remittances a year. Each provider shows only its own price; nobody shows every price with its source and date.
The plan. Revenue starts with referral fees, then adds corporate RFQ, advertising and treasury software. Base case: first revenue in Year 1 (US$7.6K), US$1.02M in Year 5 and break-even in Year 4. We are opening a pre-seed round (size to be defined) to prove click-out and conversion, scale organic distribution globally and start corporate pilots.
People and companies overpay to move money across borders. We help them pick a cheaper way and keep a small slice of what they save. Even a minimal slice is a large business.
Prices from a live feed, World Bank data and direct research on provider sites.
Each price keeps its source, date and a verification status, so stale or weak data is visible.
A multi-criteria engine ranks by cheapest, fastest or most received, and an AI assistant explains why.
Individuals click out to the provider; companies send a request for quote.
Real rates and total fees, side by side. Free, no sign-up. Embeddable widget for other sites.
Companies request quotes and compare execution options across providers.
Analytics to decide where corporate flows should go.
Remittance fees of ~US$58B (US$905B of flows × 6.36%) plus the SME cross-border B2B revenue pool of US$191B (FXC Intelligence; B2B flows: US$34.8T in 2025, US$51.2T projected for 2033). The remittance figure is indicative: percentage costs fall as amounts rise.
Remittance fees: US$162.7B of flows (2024, about 18% of global; IDB projects US$174.4B for 2025, +7.2%) × the same 6.36%. First focus region. Assumes the global average cost applies to the region.
Base case, Year 5: about 31,700 referred retail customers and 90 corporate clients. Upside case: US$16.12M. We earn a referral fee or a take rate, not the full fee, so SOM is a small fraction of the pool.

| Risk | Why it matters | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Distribution | About 70 qualified visits a month today; the Base case assumes growth of more than three orders of magnitude by Year 5 | Corridor and hub pages, widget as a backlink channel, social and corporate outreach; track indexed pages and impressions monthly |
| Unproven unit economics | Click-out, conversion and payouts are not yet measured; revenue multiplies all three | Validate tracking, record payout terms per partner: first milestone of the round |
| Data accuracy and trust | 160 of 324 corridors have fewer than 2 strong sources and 676 of 1,289 prices are not yet confirmed; a stale price damages credibility | Verification status shown on every price; automatic refresh; show freshness |
| Partner and feed concentration | 6 live affiliates; the live feed comes from one provider API (10 providers) | Add affiliate programs and feeds; keep direct research as a second source |
| Regulation and disclosure | Comparators operate under financial-promotion and affiliate-disclosure rules that vary by market | Disclose referral relationships and ranking methodology; fund a multi-market legal review (10% of the round) |
| Single founder | Key-person dependency | Hire growth/SEO, engineering and partnerships; document methodology |
| Search dependence | Most future traffic is organic; algorithm and AI-answer changes can move it | Diversify: widget, partners, social, corporate; build brand through sourced, dated data |
| Traffic measurement | 933 of 996 GA4 sessions are Direct with 4% engagement, so raw traffic overstates reach; qualified traffic is about 63 sessions in 28 days | Report qualified traffic only; filter internal and automated traffic in GA4; validate click tracking |
| Plan and cost assumptions | Funnel rates, payouts, headcount and costs are proposals; Base break-even in Year 5 is thin | Gate hiring and paid marketing on measured revenue; update the model monthly with real data |
| Advertising | First AdSense application not approved | Ads are optional and start in Year 2 in the Base case; Monito runs without ads |
