Compute decentralized.

Calvin and Mike first crossed paths while working at Blue Origin, collaborating on New Glenn and other cutting-edge projects. Calvin later met Kwadwo at a hackathon, where their shared passion for technology and innovation sparked a quick friendship. Through Kwadwo, Calvin was introduced to Bob and to Groundswell Startups, a nonprofit startup incubator and coworking space in Melbourne, Florida. Today, our team is proudly based on Florida’s Space Coast—building decentralized compute infrastructure, together.

Bob McElrath | Advisor

Bob earned his PhD in theoretical particle physics and became a CERN fellow in Geneva, Switzerland. After exiting two founding-CTO positions in the Bitcoin space (Ribbit Rewards, Vida Identity), Bob joined Fidelity’s R&D arm to study Bitcoin, which included standing up their mining operation. Bob serves as advisor to a select handful of Bitcoin companies and works as the lead of Braidpool, an open-source, decentralized mining-pool which uses a DAG to organize rewards.
