Nettle Room

Window closed. a short list asked while it was live. You are reading history.

The protocol pitch was declined. What remains is software against an invoice. a short list people still asked.

Nettle Room — A routing layer in front of payment firms that already hold licences. One API picks the rail (SEPA, cards, local schemes) and can present a wallet-like checkout. The wallet is the interface. It is not a coin.

Closed on this board. Any capital event was completed with the issuer’s own providers. RCA Pad took 0%.

Closed. The live conversation is over. The pack remains as archive.

Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

The wedge

Scheme-map licence

Nettle Room is betting that Vancouver PSPs will buy routing as software rather than issue a coin.

Why the desk took it

A real job, not a ticker.

They walked in with a licensed PSP letter, not a token deck.

Traction

2 named pilots (redacted).

Founded 2024, headquartered in Vancouver. 2 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 12 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 79/100. A named Vancouver administrator who already signs the pack (redacted). Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.

Next 12 months

Live routing in one named scheme. Everything else is a slide.

Modulr and Lemonway sell the account. Nettle Room sells the router in front of accounts they already have. Bps on a job that already has a budget line. A public coin would not make the invoice larger.

The brief

How a serious reader should hold this.

Before the waitlist, before the window, there was a refusal. Nettle Room would not let a public sale sit on this page. That is why a company in Payments orchestration is listed here at all — and why the people who wanted a coin left, and the people who wanted the product stayed.

The bet is narrow. A named Vancouver buyer already has budget for this invoice. Nettle Room wins if it is cheaper than the internal build and cleaner than the protocol pitch. It loses if a founder later wants a public book. The window is the time you have to decide which it is.

A dual-control drill sits on paper. Keys, title, or NAV liability sit with a named licensed party — not Nettle Room. The architecture says so. We have not watched the drill live. That is the next ask, not a slogan.

From the pilot

Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.

From the founder

The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian. Nettle Room does not attest to its own facts.

From the screen

We will not describe this as Reg CA-compliant, MiCA-stickered, or FCA-authorised. Issuers retain their own counsel in every relevant jurisdiction.

The window

Miss this and you read the archive.

Founders who want a pack this tight apply. Readers who wait get a closed stamp.

Certification is in motion. After it lands, the price of the seat is not the question — access is.

We do not allocate. We do not take a cut. We will not hold the window open for you.

This company

Nettle Room

Services firms hide in ‘platform’ language. Nettle Room sells a seat plus an event. Named.

The bet

Why this company exists.

Nettle Room is betting that Vancouver PSPs will buy routing as software rather than issue a coin.

Nettle Room is betting that Vancouver PSPs will buy routing as software rather than issue a coin.

MiCA is forcing PSPs to choose a perimeter. Houses that will not become CASPs still need programmable checkout. The ones that pick software over a coin will buy this. The ones that want a token will be declined here.

PSP orchestration in Europe is a multi-billion software market. Buyers already pay for routing. A token would not make the invoice larger; it would make the licence harder.

Versus the field

A generalist vendor can copy the slide in a quarter. They cannot copy the named record, the scheme map, or the auditor conversation. That is the year they would have to buy.

Vancouver being the city does not make local retail a default audience. Communications capable of inducing investment activity still have a promotions problem.

How it works

  1. 01Payer or merchant hits a single checkout API
  2. 02The router selects a licensed rail the PSP already runs
  3. 03Account-abstraction is an optional UX layer (currently testnet)
  4. 04Settlement lands in the PSP’s existing accounts — no new token
  5. 05Exceptions (chargebacks, scheme rejects) post back into the PSP’s existing case system
  6. 06A named counterparty verifies; Nettle Room does not attest to its own facts.

If they raise

Where the money would actually go.

Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.

  • Certifications & adapters

    32%

    Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.

  • Control environment

    20%

    Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.

  • Claims & campaign ops

    21%

    Hiring the operator who already does this job at a licensed firm.

  • Second market

    27%

    Adapter work against the incumbent register, admin, or custodian.

Operating week

What “in market” actually looks like.

  1. WedCounselPerimeter diffs. If the site drifted from the memo, the site moves — not the memo.
  2. FriKill switchRehearse unpublish in 24 hours. If it takes a committee, it is not a switch.
  3. SatDarkNo creators. No threads. Restricted geos stay dark.
  4. TueExceptionsOvernight breaks post back into the customer’s case system. No side book.

The wedge

Why this one, not the other one.

Who pays
A named Vancouver administrator who already signs the pack (redacted).
Unit economics
Bps on a job that already has a budget line. A public coin would not make the invoice larger.
Moat on file
ISO 20022 maps that took eighteen months — not a wrapper on Stripe.
Switching cost

Why we listed it

Next twelve months

What has to be true.

Live routing in one named scheme. Everything else is a slide.

Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.

A round, if any, sits with their providers. This pad does not take the order.

Traction

What you can verify today.

Founded 2024, headquartered in Vancouver. 2 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 12 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 79/100. A named Vancouver administrator who already signs the pack (redacted). Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.

Risks

What can kill it.

The one that actually kills it

The named customer is a letter of intent

Pilots that cannot be named, even redacted, are theatre. One paying seat that an auditor has seen is worth more than a waitlist of a short list.

Token temptation

If the wallet layer is ever described as a means of payment, the product becomes an e-money or CASP problem. This file treats that as a hard stop.

Perimeter

A supervisor can still read account-abstraction as issuing. Until counsel names the path, treat the AA layer as a lab.

Customer concentration

A handful of PSP design partners can stall the company if they slip. Ask who is paying, not who is ‘interested’.

United States

The US is out of scope on this file. That is deliberate. It also caps the TAM.

Scheme freeze

A card scheme can kill the router without talking to Nettle Room. Concentration in one scheme is existential.

Incumbent feature

The administrator, CCP, scheme or custodian can ship this as a checkbox. Nettle Room has to be cheaper or faster before that happens.

Ask these next

  1. 01Who is the first named paying customer — not a letter of intent?
  2. 02Which incumbent can copy this in a quarter, and what would they have to migrate?
  3. 03What does renewal look like if no round ever happens?
  4. 04Where do keys, title, or NAV liability sit — and is that person licensed?
  5. 05Is the waitlist demand for a product, or a queue for a coin?
  6. 06Who can unpublish a public sentence in 24 hours, by name?

Who can decide

Ines Holm (Chief executive) will take a 30-minute call and decide budget. If the only person who can accept “we are not opening a sale” is a silent co-founder in another time zone, this company would not be on the board.

A second counterparty writing into the record is the only network effect that counts. One customer is a consultancy. Two is a market.
