-Nate Embry- CEO YOUID & Rae Helsel-CPO

Presenting: YOUID



YOU are the most valuable thing on the internet, & you have no way of protecting or participating in what you're worth. Everything you do online creates data worth billions, shared, traded, monetized every day by everyone but you. You said yes to all of it, buried in terms written so you'd never realize it, for nothing in return.



The reality: identity has no value until data is shared. Sharing is where money is made, & it either happens with you or in spite of you. The failure was never that your data moves, it's that it moves without you, & you've never been able to play a role (or see a payout).



Today, identity is something that happens to you. YOU ID is the correction. An identity that you have rightful ownership to (at least in part) means that your data now gets shared with you, & you become part of the flywheel that it runs on without your involvement.

We built it & we're eager to share it with you.

-Philip Alvelda- CEO Brainworks.ai
