Techopia Live: The remote-first startup – Bitback’s road to Techstars Berlin

Many entrepreneurs and business owners have been learning on the fly to run a remote company in recent weeks.

But for some startups, remote work is ingrained in their DNA – providing a source of strength and creating flexibility to pivot and tackle new markets.

Bitback is a fintech startup with roots here in the National Capital Region. Its first product was developed in South Africa, validated in Uganda and is now being refined in Germany before it scales up back in Canada.
