At Kraken we’re building an adventure, one that requires creative people who aren’t afraid to cast aside established ways of doing things to create entirely new, delightful experiences for millions of people across the 100+ countries Kraken operates in.
Throughout the history of civilization, there have been a handful of moments that changed the course of how we think about wealth and equality.
