At @webbadge.bsky.social - Your badge on the web, we’re exploring how identity systems can be made more modular, interoperable, and inclusive.

#SubmarineStartupType #Startup #EarlyStage #Investor #Innovation #Founders

Identity infrastructure won’t solve everything, but it can help shift the tide. We need to invest more in making authenticity easy to prove. Let’s build more hope and clarity so that not only tech-savvy folks—but everyone—can reach the horizon and the digital abundance beyond. 🌅

📊 WebBadge recently ran a Pre-Seed Opportunity Evaluation — and I’m proud to share we scored an A- overall.

The evaluation used #AI and structured diligence criteria to assess:
▪️Product–market fit
▪️Timing
▪️Founder–market fit
▪️Defensibility
▪️GTM strategy

💪 As #AI becomes more powerful, so does the need for transparency, fairness, and responsibility.

🏅At WebBadge, we believe recognition can turn responsible practices into visible signals of trust.
