Payze
Payze is a Tbilisi-based payment-orchestration and acquiring layer built specifically for merchants operating across the Caucasus, CIS, and Eastern European markets, where a single global PSP rarely has strong enough local rails to cover the whole corridor. The platform gives e-commerce operators and marketplaces one API for card processing, Apple Pay and Google Pay, local bank methods, tokenization, and — crucially — automated split payments that route a single customer charge to multiple beneficiaries (sellers, drivers, partners) without building custom ledger logic. Founded in 2020, Payze has raised from Y Combinator (W22 cohort) and 500 Global via the 500 Georgia/Eurasia program, and is backed locally by GITA, the Georgian Innovation and Technology Agency. It is one of the clearest examples of a Georgian B2B fintech that has converted the country's position as a regional crossroads between Europe, Turkey, and the CIS into a commercial wedge in payments infrastructure.

Phubber
Phubber is a Tbilisi-based fashion re-commerce marketplace that combines the feed-driven social-shopping pattern popularized by Depop and Vinted with a mixed C2C and small-B2C inventory model tuned for the Caucasus. Buyers browse a scrollable, algorithmically ranked feed of pre-loved and indie-brand apparel; sellers can list in minutes with photos taken directly from the app; and the platform handles payments, local delivery integration, return flows, and dispute mediation so that trust — the usual blocker in peer-to-peer fashion — is not the user's problem. Phubber emerged as a breakout from the 500 Georgia/Eurasia program and is one of the more visible consumer-marketplace experiments coming out of Georgia, where most local tech is still B2B and fintech. It is a useful data point on how social-commerce patterns originally built for Western Gen-Z audiences are being re-implemented for emerging regional markets.
