The company was co-founded by Daniel Vogel, Pablo Gonzalez, and Ben Peters, who all have expertise in fields such as finance, marketing, and computer science. They have a strong online presence and keep in touch with their customers. Bitso launched a Bitcoin fundraising campaign for the 2017 earthquake victims.
