Payment Labs
“Can a specialized cross-border payout platform own the payments and compliance layer for sports, creator economy, and esports industries globally?”
Payment Labs, operating as Payment Pro Logistics LLC d/b/a Payment Labs out of California, was founded to simplify global payment management for industries with complex payout needs — sports, esports, NIL athlete payments, content creators, and royalty distributions. The platform handles payins and payouts across 150+ currencies in 180+ countries, with embedded tax compliance (W8/W9, withholdings, 1099 reporting). It raised a $3.25M seed round to expand into sports and creator economy verticals. The company operates multiple branded properties (prizepayments.com, mallo.io), suggesting vertical-specific product differentiation.
