Segment: NFT / Business Model: B2B / Stage: Seed
Purpose: Universal ID that can be used cross-platform and cross-community
Problem: As crypto futher fragments as more communities and platform are developed, entities are required to have separate IDs across each platfor. This makes it hard to transpose skills and reputation
Solution: A portable ID that allows you to keep one identity, aiding entities to maintain governance (native role-based) and track on-chain activity for a safer and healthier environment. In web3 terms, a truly permissionless, self-sovereign, portable identity.
Team:
Alessandro Perico - Co-founder, CEO and Product
Milena Monova - Co-founder and CTO
Traction:
Funding: Raised a $1.65M seed round from Third Kind Venture Capital, Protocol Labs, HashKey Digital Asset Group, Eniac Ventures and Fenbushi Capital.
Product: Have a testnet ready for DAOs, where you can track and manage members, from what contributions they have made, how they are performing and assigning contracts
Launch: 98 days way from today’s date - but seem to be engaging with a handful of DAOs
Positive Signals:
Team: Alessandro has been in the crypto space for a while and an founder previously
Problem: Interoperability will be critical if crypto and more specifically DAOs are to go mainsteam - the solution plays to this at the core c
Community: They have been running a handful of hackng events with strong contribution - can be followed on their Twitter
Risks:
Team: Still a fairly small team, that might lack the depth of experience scaling businesses - will be interesting to see who they bring on as they grow
