What the co-founder has to say

Zach Herbert, Co-Founder and CEO of Foundation Devices, said, “Preserving freedom and privacy is more important than ever amidst worldwide censorship, privacy violations, and reckless financial and monetary policies. As the line between the physical and digital world continues to blur, we are excited to continue delivering decentralised products that usher in a new era of freedom and prosperity for users across the globe. This seed round marks just the beginning of our journey to build the world’s first sovereign computing platform.”

What the investors have to say

Olaf Carlson-Wee, Founder and CEO of Polychain Capital, further commented, “The Foundation team has been creating gorgeous, incredibly secure, yet easy to use products that further an individual’s ability to self-custody crypto assets. We are incredibly excited to support them on the next phase of their vision to empower self-sovereign individuals through decentralized technologies.”

In addition, Gleb Dudka, Principal at Greenfield Capital, said, “By building products that lower the barrier to becoming a sovereign individual, more people will confidently reclaim control of their money and data. We are proud to be a small part of what the incredible team at Foundation is building.”

Besides, Tyler Mincey, Foundation board member and Partner at Bolt, said, “The rave reviews that Foundation’s Passport has garnered already is indicative of the demand for sovereignty and freedom in this new era. This is a giant step in the right direction, both for self-custody and digital sovereignty, which is one of the many reasons we are excited to continue supporting the Foundation team through this fundraise.”
