Peter Volnov is Co-Founder and CEO of HEVN, a Y Combinator-backed B2B fintech platform enabling international companies to operate globally in USD without needing a US entity.

Peter previously co-founded HOT Labs, a Web3 infrastructure company, and HERE Wallet, a mobile crypto wallet for the NEAR Protocol that surpassed 1 million app downloads.

Having experienced firsthand the pain of broken cross-border banking while running a global company, Peter set out to rebuild fiat banking infrastructure for the world's internet businesses.

At HOT Labs, Peter helped scale the platform to over 15 million monthly active users and $100 million in total value locked before stepping down to launch HEVN.

HEVN, now backed by Y Combinator, gives global tech companies named local bank accounts in the EU, US, Hong Kong, and UAE with 0% FX fees, serving a growing roster of international customers.
