ITM Co-Founder / CTO Announcement
It all started with a question… “What does the future look like if our digital identity was rooted in our physical experiences and memories?”
This question has led me down many different paths, each with unique challenges and some incredible conversations. Along this journey it became clear that in order to answer this question I really needed to find a technical co-founder, someone who not only came with the tech knowhow but also a hunger to find the answer and the curiosity to ask more questions and challenge why?
For those that have been following along you will know I took this search far and wide and went down some deep rabbit holes to find the right person, from the YC co-founder matching program to referrals to being set up on blind co-founder dates by people in my network. The place that led to the most interesting conversations and ultimately finding my co-founder was FWB. It was here that I met people who were ready to challenge the idea with more ideas and nothing ever seemed crazy or farfetched.
So with that I am beyond excited to be able to finally announce Saarim Zaman as technical co-founder + CTO of ITM, whose wealth of experience has allowed us to turn a question into a product that is going to change the way we access the world. Saarim previously led product at Mirror, and held key engineering roles at Otis (acq. Public), Gemini, and Kickstarter.
Together we have been able to design and build ITM Beta a product ecosystem that extends and enriches the lifespan of physical experiences while also giving brands the complete fan journey data, new monetization opportunities and unparalleled storytelling ability. This new brand-fan relationship increases retention, strengthens the bond and allows fans to relive the experiences over and over in their own personal time capsule.
This is the first stage of building a new data foundation for identity, a foundation that is true, honest and real.
I fly to the US at the end of the month as we kick off our beta program and can’t wait to show everyone what we have been cooking up these last few months.
