In total, the Association has 22 members, including firms like Lyft and Uber, as well as investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures.

A handful of firms have exited the group – which oversees the development of the Libra stablecoin project – as questions over the legality of the coin's structure have piqued the interest of global regulators. 

Tagomi's co-CEO Jennifer Campbell is a former employee of Union Square Ventures, according to her LinkedIn profile.
