Breeze

Breeze (operating as Breeze Labs, Inc.) is an AI-powered Merchant of Record payments platform founded in 2022 by Stripe alumni Millie Yang and Peng Du. The company was born from the founders' firsthand experience building international payments at Stripe, where they identified the complexity of launching global payments using traditional fiat rails. Breeze was created to make global payments seamless by leveraging stablecoins and modern financial infrastructure.

Backed by leading investors including Sequoia Capital, Multicoin Capital, and The Chainsmokers, Breeze has established itself as a trusted payments partner processing over $1 billion annually. The platform is SOC 2 Type II, PCI compliant, and ISO 27001 certified, serving businesses across gaming, mobile apps, social games, and tokenized asset markets.
