Lance Ennen
Lance Ennen has spent more than twenty years building technology across fintech, payments, digital identity, Web3, and consumer products — often as the first engineer in the room.
He has built platforms across multiple industries, including Obtiva (acquired by Groupon), Raise.com, PayRoc, Factor 75 (acquired by HelloFresh), and United.com. He also co-founded Cerebrum.com, creator of the vID identity platform for digital identity and verification.
For the past decade his work has centered on the machinery of engineered trust: smart contracts, zero-knowledge proofs, identity verification, background checks, and verifiable credentials.
That is the thesis of Byzantine Solidus stated as a career — durable money is an engineering problem, and Lance has been solving its parts for twenty years.
