- Trust is extremely important in our lives.
- Trust makes relationships work.
- Trust makes transactions efficient.
But on the internet, creating trust is difficult. You don’t see or feel the other person. Many important cues to their trustworthiness are invisible to you.
Our mission is to make it simple to trust each other. We create the foundation for good relationships that work without physical interaction.
