One person asked me a single question that changed the course of my life. They led me on a quest that hundreds, perhaps even thousands of other people are obsessed with. It’s a quest that has led to New York, Washington D.C., London, Madrid, San Francisco, and now with my co-founders, around the world. We want to fix the biggest unsolved problem on the Internet: Identity.

In a world where artificial intelligence is making it possible to create high-quality content capable of impersonating almost any entity and person, it has become increasingly important to develop an ecosystem of identity solutions that can help people #1 Interact only with reputable businesses and people (or if they so choose, reputable bots), #2 Stay in control of their data and #3 Protect their privacy. If these solutions are well implemented, they will allow us to create additional value on top of them, for example, adding payments, or even supporting AI-powered agents. IDPartner is developing a global marketplace for user-controlled digital identity that helps solve these issues, while providing enough flexibility to enable important value-added services to be built on top of it.
