Troop ID is a Single Sign On that allows brands to verify the military or veteran credentials of a given user on their website in order to securely deliver a set of defined benefits e.g. discounts, veteran skill training vouchers, government benefits.
True fight eat! My name is Blake Hall and I'm a former captain of the United States Army. I spent 15 months hunting My name is Blake Hall and I'm the co-founder and CEO of Crew by D, a digital ID card that empowers members of the military community to claim exclusive benefits online. Any veteran who's not a retiree and a retiree is defined as 20 plus years of service or medical discharge does not have an ID card to prove that they are actually a veteran. And so the only thing that, 8 million veterans have to prove that they served is called a Form DD 214. It's a Department of Defense form you're given on separation. It's got your social security n Basically everyt And because we don't have ID cards, if you want to get everything from, you know, a free dinner at a restaurant like Applebee's, you know, for Veterans Day to a veteran discount at a store like Home Depot, you carry, you have to show this doc And it's really inefficient, it'scary to be honest, because the veteran loses that form in transit, they just compromise their identity. Not only that, but when they actually interact with the store clerk, they're showing that store clerk, they're full social security n So a cool product of digital identity is that we can actually minimize the information disclosed to a relying party It's one thing to identify the problem, but really over the last, And, If you upgrade the credential with biometric logon factors. One of the key challenges for us is going to be building our network brands as wide as possible to make the True by D credential more valuable, The more places the widget is deployed, the more valuable it is to the credential holder, and so the faster we're going to realize growth. The thing about the growth rate we've realized already, going from, It's about 1,000 users per day. We'really lucky that we have a business model where we get to make money and then also get brand exposure to the service members of Veterans that happen to be shopping at these different brands. But we're very lucky to have investors who believe in us. We're fortunate to have kind of landed some really Building the network, the first few relations But the fact that, We're able to deliver a free service to members of the military and veteran community. That's awesome. Thank you.
