About Us

MISSION is the world's only dedicated Empowerment Tech consultancy.

We founded MISSION to help organizations understand and respond to the impact and opportunity of user-controlled data.

There's a lot of noise around self-sovereign/decentralized identity, Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), Verifiable Credentials, personal AI agents, mobile driving licenses, data regulation, industry consortia, standards and protocols, open source, and more.

We turn that noise into tailored, contextual signals.

MISSION in a nutshell:

• An agile team of ‘hands-on’ startup operators;
• 20+ years of introducing cutting-edge technology;
• Deep practical experience in decentralized identity (Evernym execs since 2016);
• Vendor, standard, and protocol agnostic;
• Exceptionally well-networked and connected;
• Opinionated but highly pragmatic.

We're here to use our skills and influence to raise the tide for all, simultaneously creating outsized value.
