Three-Act Architecture

The Marketplace

Prove diaspora communities transact on structured platforms. Every seller, every order builds verified identity & community trust scores — the hidden asset invisible to financial systems.

The Infrastructure
2028 — 2030
10+ nodes, multiple diaspora communities → Pangea becomes the rails for diaspora-native financial products. Transaction history becomes the underwriting moat.

Narrative Anchors — Must Survive Any Rewrite
The Trojan Horse Frame
The marketplace is the trojan horse. The financial infrastructure is the castle.
Competitive Positioning
Nobody is building this. Globally.
Zero-CAC Proof
Teresa's church story — the origin of community distribution that cannot be bought.
Market · TAM / SAM / SOM
🌐
TAM — $840B
280M diaspora workers × ~$3K annual community commerce spend. The single largest underserved commerce market on earth.
🌏
SAM — $12.4B
SEA + GCC diaspora communities. Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, Malaysian, Indian, Nigerian — all running commerce on fragmented social media.
📍
SOM — $42M
HCMC beachhead. 15,000+ Filipinos. Zero direct competitors. Teresa's Lutong Quezon as proof. This is the San Francisco moment.

CEO Succession & Exit Horizon (4-Year Plan)
🎯
Series A Milestone
Target ~$1M ARR before Series A approach. Pangea Network effect across multiple nodes demonstrates infrastructure value beyond single-market play.
🔄
Transition Plan
Poppet → Executive Chairman. Replacement CEO hired. Founder-optimal structure maintained. 4-year horizon from current position.
🏆
Tier 1 Acquirers
Wise — diaspora payment infrastructure missing. GCash/Mynt — needs diaspora commerce layer. Sea Group — diaspora commerce expansion gap. All need what Pangea builds.
