Sebastian Mellen: The Power of Verified Data in Non-Obvious Industries

Today’s guest is Sebastian Mellen, Co-founder and CEO of Cerebrum. His team is building an IDtech product called vID, tackling data and compliance problems in healthcare, HR systems, and even youth sports teams.
In this conversation, we cut right to some meaty topics, including some of the biggest challenges that IDtech products tend to face. Sebastian gives insight into Cerebrum’s trojan horse go-to-market strategy into large corporates, how they’ve translated self-sovereign identity language into “enterprise speak”, how they’ve addressed the chicken-and-egg problem that exists in many IDtech ecosystems, and much more.
Sebastian’s perspective on the importance of forming strategic partnerships to break into regulated industries will be super useful to other IDtech product builders.
