WHAT IS TRUSTORY? Trustory is a social network to validate claims that people make online.
THE PROBLEM The internet is open and permissionless. That means (in theory) anyone can say anything they want and it can be accessed by the rest of the world. This was fantastic when only a handful of media outlets could control what information reached the world. But we’ve already begun to see the costs of sacrificing trust for openness — Rampant amounts of misinformation being spread on the internet to the point of not being able to trust anything.
OUR SOLUTION We’re solving this through a social network where experts debate the authenticity of claims people make.
OUR TEAM We’ve worked at Andreesen Horowitz, Coinbase, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, Groupon, TED, Atlassian, Bear Stearns. We have funding from True Ventures, Homebrew, Coinbase, Pantera Capital, Fred Ehrsam, Scott Belsky, and others.
Strong team: We’ve worked at Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, Groupon, TED, Atlassian, Bear Stearns. We are disciplined, motivated and eager to make a positive impact on the internet.
Strong investors: Funded by people like Fred Ehrsam (Co-founder of Coinbase), Balaji Srinivasan (CTO at Coinbase and Partner at Andreessen Horowitz), Scott Belsky (Co-founder of Behance), Steve Jang (Co-founder of Rhapsody), etc.
We have a passionate and growing early community of people who are excited to validate claims. For example:

Lean team — only 2 full-time engineers.
Lots of autonomy over your work, if you can get stuff done.
Very little process
, we meet once a week, then self-organize and ship code.
We are building an app on decentralized infrastructure — so it's bleeding edge technology. It's like building a Rails app when Ruby on Rails first launched. Or building an iOS app when the iPhone first launched.
To be a good fit, you have to be willing to work in this environment where the technology is nascent and you'll be expected to learn fast.
