The story
Freedom Gateway is a small (10-employee) Pittsburgh-based fintech that vertically integrates hardware manufacturing, embedded firmware, and cloud management software for unattended crypto/payment kiosks. Its primary consumer-facing product is a network of 140+ Bitcoin ATMs, but it also builds custom kiosk solutions for regulated verticals (charitable gaming, state lottery prepaid Visa payouts, GPS asset tracking). It is a hardware+software kiosk operator, not a chartered financial institution.
