Our Team

I started Grape ID out of personal frustration. In 2018, I was a victim of 5 data breaches & identity theft which taught me that businesses are in control of our data. They make money off our data AND put us at risk - I'm determined to change that.

Pitch

PROBLEM

Relevant data is inaccessible to enterprises because of "Identity Chaos", the scattering of consumer data across the Internet. Enterprises need more data to filter spam effectively for users.

Email providers like Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft often send spam emails to the inbox folder, or legit emails to the spam folder. Roughly 57 trillion spam emails are sent annually. Cellular companies like T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint exchange 87.8 billion spam texts annually.

A $1 Trillion Problem

Spam fuels the world's $10.5 trillion cybercrime problem. Spam is also a byproduct of the $389 billion non-consensual data brokering industry and the $740 billion unethical advertising industry. These industries thrive on exploiting data and spamming people, leading to privacy violations and financial losses for individuals and businesses.

SOLUTION: "Identity Agents"

Identity agents allow consumers, not enterprises, to filter content based on user preferences.

Identity agents put consumers in control in 4 ways:

  1. Personalized Filtering: Identity agents filter messages extremely accurately because they use data from consumers' private data vaults (e.g. contacts, subscriptions, preferences), not enterprise databases.
  2. It Protects Privacy: Identity agents are data stewards, enabling messages to be filtered without exposing private user data to anyone else.
  3. Set and Forget: Users set their preferences in our app, then continue using their existing communication provider services (e.g. Gmail, Verizon, Facebook).
  4. One App for All Providers: One Grape ID account allows users to filter spam on unlimited accounts (e.g. cell phone, email, and social media).

It's Easy for Consumers to Use

Users need to verify their identity, confirm the settings their identity agent will use to filter their messages, and then connect their accounts (e.g. Gmail, Verizon, or Facebook account).

Identity agents enable consumers to more accurately filter incoming notifications based on criteria such as identity verification status, encryption status, company affiliation, subscription lists, contact lists, block lists, and other new or traditional filtering methods.

HOW IT WORKS: Identity Agent Platform

Users approve data that identity agents use to filter content, then the platform instructs providers what to deliver.

The identity agent platform centralizes user data management, allowing consumers to approve, share, and control their personal information. This includes contact lists, subscriptions, and filtering preferences based on criteria such as identity verification, encryption status, company affiliation, block lists, interests, and demographics. By aggregating this pre-approved data, the platform empowers users to make informed decisions about content delivery.

Unlike traditional systems where enterprises determine content delivery, our platform puts control in the hands of consumers. It instructs communication providers on which content to deliver based on user-defined preferences. This approach significantly reduces unwanted content, as consumers are best positioned to determine what they consider spam or valuable communication. Our platform serves as a steward of user data, protecting their rights while enabling more effective and personalized content filtering.

OPPORTUNITY

Gmail, Verizon, and Meta alone spend over $1B/year to stop spam, robocalls, fake profiles, and other types of spam — yet the spam problem continues.

But what if you could reduce the cost of eliminating spam by 90% while providing a better, near-100% spam filtering service? Every enterprise and small business would want it. That's what we built...

REVENUE MODEL

Our subscription fees will start at $0.50 per user/year and decrease based on volume, saving an organization like Gmail $100M to $300M+ annually.

GO-TO-MARKET

Target large email providers, telecom enterprises, and social media platforms to capture the largest user base as quickly as possible.

We are executing all supporting initiatives intended to promote the setting of meetings and drive enterprise agreements.

TRACTION

After interviewing over 3,000 consumers & 100+ businesses, creating 4 versions of applications on 4 different test platforms, creating 1,000+ mockups, receiving deposits from customers ready to use Grape ID, and creating a waitlist of thousands of people — we've proven how the technology works and are setting appointments with enterprises to integrate it into their companies.

REVENUE PROJECTIONS

We are projecting $1M revenue by 2025 Q4 as a worst-case scenario. With our go-to-market strategy of targeting enterprise communication providers, we expect to reach multi-million dollar deals within the first year.

COMPETITION

Grape ID™ is a permanent, future-proof solution for all communication channels. Other solutions have channel-specific anti-spam solutions, but Grape ID™ repurposes user identities so they only need one app to block spam across multiple channels. This improves both the efficacy of the content filtering (anti-spam measures) and the ease of use for the end user.

Unlike reactive enterprise filters, Grape ID™ identity-agent-based filtering is proactive, which means it's a permanent solution to end spam forever. This is achieved through the use of several tactics such as whitelisting vs. blacklisting.

THE VISION

We plan to start with spam prevention services, and then expand to other industries as we prove the technology works. The content filtering market alone allows Grape ID™ to reach a billion-dollar market cap.

Use of Funds

We will secure pilot agreements with at least 3 major communication providers (email, social media, and telecom sectors) by Q1 2025, update our consumer app with pilot functionality by Q4 2025, and reach 100,00 daily active identity agent users by Q2 2026.

Of the initial $50,000 raised in this Wefunder, 92.1 % of it will be used to market our Wefunder Campaign (social media, ads, marketing contractors) and 7.9% to pay Wefunder fees.

Of the $1.235M maximum goal for this current Wefunder campaign, 18% will go to marketing, 15% to operations and overhead of the company, 59.1% to four engineers and two product designers, and 7.9% to Wefunder fees.
