We are a research company developing software for user-owned data. We created the Vana protocol [read whitepaper] and provide ongoing core developer services to the Vana Foundation, who now stewards the Vana Network forward.
We believe AI models should be created more like open source software: iteratively by a community. To make this possible, researchers need access to the world's best datasets that are held captive across walled gardens. Users can break down these walled gardens by exporting their own data.
We are building towards a user-owned foundation model, trained by 100M users who contribute their data and compute. Our goal is to create a world where users have true ownership over their most valuable digital asset: their personal data.
