Bam Azizi co-founded Mesh alongside Adam Israel, with the company previously operating under the name Front Finance. Mesh pivoted from a consumer-facing model to a business-focused one following the collapse of FTX, and its network now supports crypto acceptance from more than 300 wallets and exchanges, with settlement available in stablecoins or local currency. Its SmartFunding technology allows users to pay with assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana while merchants receive their preferred fiat currency or stablecoin.
Bam Azizi previously co-founded cybersecurity company NoPassword, where he served as CTO; NoPassword was later acquired by LogMeIn, now known as GoTo. His work there centered on Public Key Infrastructure and Multi-Party Computation, technologies he has described as foundational to blockchain, and that experience directly informed the API-based approach Mesh applies to crypto's fragmentation problem.
Bam Azizi has led Mesh through several significant funding milestones. The company raised a $22 million Series A announced in September 2023, led by Money Forward, bringing total funding at that point to $32 million. PayPal Ventures announced an investment in January 2024, notable for being made almost entirely in PayPal USD (PYUSD) and transferred on-chain using Mesh APIs. An $82 million Series B announced in March 2025, led by Paradigm, pushed total funding above $120 million, with most of that round also settled in PYUSD. Mesh subsequently announced a $75 million Series C at a $1 billion valuation in January 2026. Bam Azizi has been active on Twitter since 2017 and has published 1,403 posts.
