A few years back, Eva met Dr. Scott Stornetta. Later, I did too. Alongside Dr. Stuart Haber, Scott is widely credited as the creator of blockchain. Blockchain is a technology built on a simple but radical idea at the time: decentralization. No single authority, no central point of control, just a trusted system everyone can rely on.

Now, these two scientists are teaming up again to start a new company, SureMark Digital. Their mission is to bring that same decentralized philosophy to identity and authenticity on the internet, enabling anyone to prove who they are, certify their work, and push back against deepfakes and impersonation. No middlemen. No central gatekeepers.

It took us about 3.141592654 seconds to get excited. We are now proud to be the co-lead investor in SureMark’s first institutional round.

At Two Small Fish, we love backing frontier tech that can reshape large-scale behaviour. SureMark checks every box.

Eva has written a deeper dive on what they are building and why it matters. You can read it here.
