Building human-controlled infrastructure for the AI economy.

TitleChain Foundation advances open, human-rooted standards for identity, accountable AI, portable credentials, privacy, ownership and digital economic participation.

01Latest News

TitleChain Foundation opens public sponsorship to help activate 100,000 women-led ventures.

Individuals can support the public work, companies can sponsor engineers or cohorts, and employers can help activate women from their own workforce.

We are not teaching 100,000 women how to prompt somebody else’s AI. We are working toward giving women a human-controlled digital operating environment from which they can learn, work, build, teach, earn and choose what comes next.

02Fast Facts

TitleChain Foundation

Public-interest stewardship for human-rooted digital infrastructure and ICSN standards.

ICSN

Internet Cooperative for Sovereign Networks — open standards for human authority, accountable agents, identity, credentials, provenance, privacy, portability and sovereign digital systems.

First scaled goal

Support the activation of up to 100,000 women-led ventures — a goal, not a claim of current activation.

U.S. market context

Women own approximately 14.2 million U.S. businesses generating approximately $2.8 trillion in receipts (U.S. Census Bureau data).

Public participation

Individuals can contribute at small-dollar levels, support through GitHub Sponsors, participate in GitHub, or join the waitlist.

Non-capture

Fund the commons. Never own the commons.

03Power of Her Purse

Her life. Her AI. Her knowledge. Her work. Her money. Her future.

This is not another AI class.

We start with the woman herself — before her employer, résumé, job title or AI vendor.

The M5 reference environment is designed to give her greater control over the digital operating environment around her identity, personal AI, knowledge, goals, learning, work and economic choices.

She can strengthen her current role, change careers, consult, build a business, work through a cooperative, teach others, or combine multiple paths.

Start sovereign. Add services by choice.
