SpruceID lets users control their data across the web.
How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
Founders Wayne Chang and Gregory Rocco met while working at ConsenSys in Brooklyn, New York. They realized that the best way to ensure a user-centric future was to build the core infrastructure that lets users control their data across the web. Enter Spruce in early 2020. As implementers and architects of emerging global identity standards such as W3C Verifiable Credentials, Sign-In with Ethereum, and more, we recognize the importance of aligning the ecosystem and providing core open-source building blocks to make this all possible.
What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?
We believe in enabling a world where users can control their own data across the web, giving people security and privacy through private-by-default architectures, and supporting builders with open-source software for user-controlled interactions.
