Eric Starr: Verifiable Credential Adoption in Government The Future of Identity

    • Technology

Today’s guest is Eric Starr, Co-founder & CEO of UltraPass ID—an IDtech product for governments.

Eric shares his story trying to solve civic problems through the political system via Andrew Yang’s presidential campaign and how he ended up starting a company to reimagine how citizens interact with government.

We go through the problem caused by many government silos of personal data, why Eric landed on verifiable credentials to solve the problem, and why governments are a challenging but super important segment to target because they hold the keys to verifiable credential adoption.

Eric is convinced that solving problems for government stakeholders with real solutions, not with technological dogma, is the way verifiable credentials will be adopted.
