Great question! For VCs and incubators to stop turning startups into product factories to be sold to Tech Giants. This stifles innovation and results in what could be great products just become add-on features for tech giants.

As a technology anthropologist who's helped many companies bring software/hardware products to market, this is unlikely to succeed for several reasons. Growing mistrust of biometrics as a whole, the general market has zero trust for crypto right now, neither this hardware nor blockchain can scale at what would be needed at a societal level. I could go on.
