🦹 About Anon
Anon — The Developer Toolkit for Multiplayer Identity
Anon.com creates a trust-minimizing way for developers to act on behalf of users, enabling automation where it was previously impossible. We call this ‘delegated authentication’.
The old internet was hindered by a lack of composability. The absence of robust APIs for standard online user activities meant there was no connective “glue” to weave automation into the fabric of internet use.
This will create a revolution of automation, bolstered by AI, that will transform the internet into an internet of action — moving from “you should do x” to “let us do x for you” — with Anon serving as a core identity primitive.
A rapidly-growing team built by experienced founders
The Anon team is composed of serial entrepreneurs who have raised >$100mm for past businesses. Anon is funded by top VCs. We are early-stage but growing quickly.
As a team, we are low ego — everyone works in the trenches, especially on unglamorous, customer-facing tasks. We are also driven — we work hard and ship fast, launching products in days or weeks, not months.
If you’re looking to build core infrastructure for the future of the internet, and you’re chill and talented and humble, we would love to speak with you.
