Dots has secured $8.9 million in Series A funding led by DCM, with participation from Y Combinator, to accelerate product innovation and global expansion of its payouts platform. Profitable and processing more than $150 million in monthly payouts, the company reports 400% year-over-year revenue growth and has delivered over $1 billion to more than one million gig workers, creators and contractors worldwide. “Everyone talks about the future of payments, but most of that innovation has focused on companies receiving payment, not paying others,” said Sahil Hasan, co-founder and CEO of Dots.

He added that Dots unifies bank transfers, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App and stablecoins through a single API to simplify compliance and cross-border disbursements while accelerating payments. The company also introduced a fully self-service integration model and Dots Control, an anti-fraud feature that enables businesses to detect suspicious payouts and automate risk rules. “Beyond the large and growing total addressable market… what makes Dots compelling is its focus on both the developer and payee experience,” said Ibrahim AlSuwaidi, Partner, DCM.
