Our Story
Bindle was founded in June 2020 on the premise that two emerging technologies - Verifiable Credentials (VCs) and Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) - could create a scalable and verified identity layer for the Internet while also giving individuals complete control over their data.
Our first application, a COVID-19 HealthPass (as described in this brief video), proved the commercial viability of these technologies and delivered an essential tool to help reopen the economy: private and portable proof of health.
Hundreds of health care institutions issued vaccination and test credentials on Bindle and hundreds of enterprise customers used Bindle to verify these credentials - including The Chicago Symphony, Dartmouth College, Dead & Company, The Kennedy Center, San Diego State University, and The White House Correspondents Dinner.
Within 18 months of launch, Bindle became the largest private deployment of VCs and SSI in the United States.
We are now expanding the platform (as outlined in our Company Overview deck) to help society navigate the coming explosion of AI-driven misinformation, disinformation, deep fakes, and increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.
Within the next few years, we believe it will be difficult to know whether you can trust the websites you visit or the texts and emails you receive. Similarly, sites and apps will have a very difficult time discerning humans from bots and “good” bots from “bad” bots.
In this new world, “proof of personhood” and “proof of identity” will be critical in the fight to keep the Internet trustworthy and useful. While it may seem unimaginable today, you will soon be required to constantly prove that you are human and that you are who you claim to be.
We have two offerings:
Our VC and SSI platform (Bindle-branded or white-labeled)
Consulting services - for more customized deployments
Bindle is led by successful serial entrepreneurs who have also held executive product and technology roles at AOL, American Express, Samsung, and Time Warner.
