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

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
Nettle Room is betting that Vancouver PSPs will buy routing as software rather than issue a coin.
Why the desk took it
They walked in with a licensed PSP letter, not a token deck.
Traction
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
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
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
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.

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.

Operating week
The wedge
Next twelve months
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
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.
Readiness
Six things a serious buyer asks. 100 is “ready to take to counsel and a customer.”
Risks
The one that actually kills it
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.
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.
A supervisor can still read account-abstraction as issuing. Until counsel names the path, treat the AA layer as a lab.
A handful of PSP design partners can stall the company if they slip. Ask who is paying, not who is ‘interested’.
The US is out of scope on this file. That is deliberate. It also caps the TAM.
A card scheme can kill the router without talking to Nettle Room. Concentration in one scheme is existential.
The administrator, CCP, scheme or custodian can ship this as a checkbox. Nettle Room has to be cheaper or faster before that happens.

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.
