UI/UX Designer
SELF ID is a new company focused on solving the issue of digital identity. Instead of looking at identity as a problem to solve through “authentication”, we’ve realized that the context is much bigger and more exciting. Our solution enables users to co-own their data with the platforms they create that data with, and then gives them the ability to share, give, distribute and even monetize that data as we put the individual at the center of their electronic universe and create the world’s first “digital genome”.
Our company is founded by leading inventors and investors in the crypto space, and includes founders of some of the top 4-5 crypto projects by market cap. With the expertise we have in the space, the experience we have across our founders, and the excitement around this particular type of technology, we are confident that this project takes on a life of its own. We want to be sure we’re enlisting the help of the right people to help us on that journey.
SELF ID has recently closed a seed round of funding and is launching this fall.
