Giorgio Talegon is an American entrepreneur with various innovations to his name from Ad-Tech to Blockchain and now in Fintech.
Giorgio Talegon was born in Belgium and moved to US when he was 18 years old for higher education. Although he studied business, his love for technology and computers kept him very busy throughout his college years and later in life. He was already building web sites for small companies while at school and had his first entrepreneurial bug with his first company Brentstar at the age of 22. He later founded Hyperbidder, an Online Advertising Exchange Network, with thousands of Publishers from all over the world with NBC/Universal as one of its earliest clients. He also dipped his toe in the Blockchain space with JEXOS where he put his prior experience to work with his co-founder Kishor Patil to come up with a solution that can make Online Advertising more transparent and the payment processing much faster. While working for a payment solution for JEXOS, Giorgio and his Team came up with a more interesting concept that is perfect for FIAT payments. Thus, a superior system was born; PayLuft, a revolutionary payment system that requires no wallet, no phone, no cash, no credit card to make payments.

PayLuft Concept
PayLuft is a biometric payment system that allows anyone to pay for goods and services without the need to carry anything with. There is no need to have any special hardware or terminal on the receiver's side. Retailers would have to have a specially built terminals in the past to achieve what we achieve with our solution. Also these terminals were not 100% accurate. However, with our solution not only it is very accurate, but it only requires on the receiver's end to have a smart phone and the PayLuft app. While the payee has the smart phone as the minimum requirement, the payer is not required to have anything with him or her to make the payments. Did the payer forget his wallet or phone at home? No problem. Did the payer just get out of the sea and he wants to buy a drink quickly from the nearby cafe at the beach but he has nothing with him except his towel and shorts? No problem. With PayLuft, he no longer needs to carry anything with him to pay a retailer or pay someone.
PayLuft Plan
Going Forward
Our plan is to build the first version of PayLuft as soon as possible so we can have more people involved from the right investors we belive would be suitable to more talents and the right management. We are sure the product itself speaks for itself as it is much needed nowadays with the new norms of what Covid-19 and Covid-20 brought upon us. We want to be assured we choose the right investors, management, and the talent going forward. We will try to be very picky as we believe these two factors are very important for the future success. After the product is built, and sufficient funds are raised, we will switch our focus to marketing our product PayLuft and attaining new users/customers and forming strategic partnerships. We will utilize one of our assets we have; Hyperbidder Ad Exchange Network which has over 1000 publihers (web sites) worldwide with most of them in USA, to advertise and market PayLuft to certain targeted countries first where we want to focus on initially. Hyperbidder will allow to half our marketing costs and help us analyze what markets work best for us. We want to expand as fast as possible and we believe Hyperbidder and its other Network partners along with our experience in online advertising will help PayLuft take off much faster.
