Dear Datawallet Community,

This week we had two exciting announcements for you and are also revamping our social presence! We will be able to share more on the upcoming beta release of the Datawallet platform with you shortly. For now, let’s jump right into this week’s recap:

Veteran Tech Investor Jeffrey Wernick Joins Datawallet Board of Advisors

We were extremely proud to officially announce that acclaimed private investor Jeffrey Wernick has joined our advisory board this week. He is a veteran investor with more than 40 years of experience and is best known for his investments in some of today’s most defining technology companies including Uber and AirBnb. Further, we are excited that Datawallet marks only the second company to appoint Jeffrey Wernick to its advisory board, preceded solely by notable blockchain application platform, Qtum ($1B market cap).

In his own words: “I have given talks articulating the principles of my Data Manifesto. Property. Permission. Portability. Personhood. We reclaim ownership of ourselves and the value we create which is generally expropriated from us. Serafin and Datawallet share these values.”

Datawallet Partners with Distributed Credit Chain

Our partnership with Distributed Credit Chain (DCC) was announced this week (after a sneak peak during out time in Korea). Both companies made it their mission to empower the user & individual and this partnerships will get us one step closer to that goal. As Stewie Zhu, CEO of DCC put it: “Datawallet’s mission to help users control their personal data and making this data work for them closely aligns with DCC’s goal to empower the individual and make finance truly inclusive”.
