Company Advisory verification by SpringRole - Verify ICO advisors on the Blockchain

by•

SpringRole has developed a blockchain powered protocol for professional attestations.

When an advisor claims they're an advisor for a company, this claim can be verified and attested by someone in the company. Similarly, when a company claims that a person is an advisor to them, the claim can be verified and attested by the advisor.

Much needed feature proving a good use-case for the blockchain.

Thanks for hunting us :) My name is Kartik and I'm the founder of SpringRole. I'm happy to announce that we have launched our first product feature- company advisory verification on the blockchain. Did you know that it is a common practice in today’s #fakeinformation world where startups (many ICO companies) use random advisor names for their benefit? This problem exists the other way too, a lot of advisors who are just starting up use names of companies without their consent while they try to get new gigs. At the core, the problem is user-generated content which is not validated. We are on a mission to eliminate situations like these. With SpringRole, you can protect your company's and advisors' online professional identity and hence promote trust. As a big fan of product hunt, I have decided to offer you'll a 100% discount. The code is PRODUCTHUNT to avail $25 off. Do give in your feedback, I'm happy to take questions!
Congratulations on being hunted :-D . I might have mentioned this to someone before. A narrow use-case for me is with freelancers, another micro segment with a massive fraud problem. For clients/companies looking for expert freelancers for a job, even if at a premium, there is no way to verify their claims, recos beyond their word. If gig economy is the future of employment, this will not remain a micro segment and some community verification method has to be built to solve this.

Yes - this is a very valid point. Its something which we are building now. I'll send you the link to our invision prototype soon and would love your feedback.
Look forward. Best wishes!

I have been beta-testing this for a month now, great team and execution. When building CryptoVigil last year, I would run into a bunch of scammy ICOs with fake advisors and this product goes a long way to solve it. Can't wait to see everything else SpringRole has in store.

Pros:

A real use case of blockchain

Simple UX

No gas costs

Cons:

Needs more PHers using it :)

I hope for the best for this project. Good luck to your team
Maker
Thank you!
This is really cool! 👍 Have a general Q: How do you folks see identity evolve on blockchain network(s)? Let's say SpringRole holds my professional identity, something like Civic holds my personal identity, and then there are banks, government agencies et. al. tying to replicate/hold identity on private blockchains. Where does this all lead to? One would think "one person = one identity" in the world of blockchain. Do you see all these networks working together? Thoughts? TIA :)
Maker
Yes. We actually integrate Civic in our product. Blockchain identity will be similar to google, facebook, linkedin etc. Each of them will work through APIs.
thanks and good luck :)
Great hunt! All the best!
This will be good use case in true sense. we would like to interview you guys on cryptoground.com how can we discuss more about it?

thank you. Drop us an email

Eager to recommend others to try this experience...

Pros:

Interesting product that enables us interact with blockchain

Cons:

Still not yet tested

Awesome use case for blockchain technology. Attestation is low cost and super powerful. As a primitive to many concepts in the digital world: stronger authentication and attestation could significantly reduce fraud.
