Two opportunities. One investment.

A revenue-generating consumer business sits on top of a strategically owned protocol with implications far beyond storage. Investing in the product is investing in the platform underneath it.

The business

MyCrypt

The first consumer product validating a new category — privacy-first family storage with multigenerational preservation. A real market with a real path to scale.

Real market. Real revenue. Real path to scale.
The platform

Bonafide

An open identity and privacy protocol owned by Cloud Connected. A long-term, globally portable, strategically held platform asset with implications far beyond consumer storage.

Long-term platform asset. Globally portable. Strategically owned.
Investment in MyCrypt is also investment in the protocol underneath it.
The opportunity

Three markets. One protocol underneath them.

Identity & authentication infrastructure

Bonafide

MyCrypt addresses markets 1 and 2. Bonafide opens market 3 and adjacent platform opportunities far beyond consumer storage.

Why Bonafide matters

No more passwords. No more 2FA.

Enroll once on a trusted device. Biometric verification at the device, cryptographic attestation to every Bonafide-enabled service. Account takeover via SIM swap, phishing, or password leak becomes structurally impossible.

Passwords
→ gone

Device biometrics replace them. No managers, no reset cycles.

2FA / SMS
→ history

Cryptographic attestation is stronger and frictionless.

Identity validation
→ done once

A bank or government validates legal identity. Reusable everywhere.

Age verification
→ solved

A major regulatory pain point gets a cryptographic solution.

Competition & moat

The moat is Bonafide.

Competitors can copy a feature. They cannot copy a cryptographic substrate that took years to build, validate, and prove deployable at consumer scale.
