By Zach Herbert, Co-Founder & CEO of Foundation, an open-source security hardware company behind Passport Prime and KeyOS. A mechanical engineer by training and a Bitcoiner since 2013, he dropped out of Harvard Business School to build hardware that keeps humans in control of their digital lives. What started as a Bitcoin self-custody project has grown into something bigger: a platform designed to enforce human authorization in a world where AI agents are increasingly making decisions on our behalf. He builds in America, thinks in first principles, and has very little patience for security theater.
