Jamie Burke, Outlier Ventures CEO said: “Evernym is an organization unlike any other in the distributed identity space. At their stage, to have earned the cooperation and patronage of such organizations as Hyperledger, the Illinois Blockchain Initiative and the entire U.S. credit union industry, speaks directly to the potential Evernym possesses. We just knew we had to be a part of this story”. He added that “ Self-sovereign identity for people, organizations and connected devices is the one problem everyone wants to see solved.”
Furthermore, Evernym Co-founder and CEO Timothy Ruff commented: “We’ve accomplished a lot in our relatively short existence, but among the highlights I count our new relationship with a firm as well-regarded as Outlier Ventures. Together, we will break ground destined to prove fundamentally transformative to the internet in general, and digital trust in particular.”
