In this week's "Why we invested" piece, we're spotlighting Navigate, recent graduates of our Ascent Token Launch program!
Hear from Rumi Morales, partner at Outlier and board member at Navigate on how Navigate can drive a revolution in data ownership.
"Navigate is one of those real world use cases of blockchain and crypto that people have been clamouring for.
As a long term investor in the space. I've often heard 'well, what is blockchain used for?' Navigate is a fantastic example.
We can utilise crypto and blockchain technologies for real world applications around everything from autonomous vehicles to drones to unmanned sea vehicles. These can collect a very unique dataset that otherwise will never be captured.
For anyone who's ever searched their own address and saw a picture of their house or where they lived, it's always a little bit shocking. It feels like an invasion of privacy. What Navigate is able to do is put your control of where you live, what you see where you want to be, in your own hands. You can take whatever aerial pictures that you want, contribute it to a database, get incentivized to use that database without having to depend on privacy intrusions, or without having to expect privacy intrusions or centralised technologies or even the government.
