Hello everyone and welcome to Future Tech Podcast. I'm your host Julia Lamar and

joining me today is James Gundrig. He is the

the V-O-O and co-founder at Minton. Welcome James.

Hi Juliet, how you doing today? Fantastic I'm so happy you were able to join us here.

Why don't you give our listeners a little snapshot of what Minton is and what you do there?

Sure, so we look at the blockchain crypto space for the past couple of years and we saw an opportunity

in the digital storage of critical assets. So critical assets being

cryptocurrencies is one obviously since custody is still the number one issue in

looking at digital evidence for lawyers, wills, things that nature's in fact we're

looking at to protect spare cryptography keys because people obviously have

been losing them here and there we want to be able to give a spare key through our minfault.

Definitely I think that's one of my biggest fears of crypto is losing my key because it's pretty much

the end of the line there.

Yeah, and we, we, uh, so we're predicated on 2 CIA.

So the 2c's are confidentiality. That's one reason why we're

based in Dublin, Ireland. We're an Irish company, even though I'm based in New York City.
