FUTO

In the sleek corridors of Silicon Valley, where tech giants have relentlessly amassed power over the virtual realm, a distinctive vision deliberately materialized in 2021. FUTO.org exists as a monument to what the internet could have been – liberated, distributed, and decidedly in the control of individuals, not monopolies.

The founder, Eron Wolf, FUTO.org functions with the measured confidence of someone who has observed the metamorphosis of the internet from its promising beginnings to its current monopolized condition. His credentials – an 18-year Silicon Valley veteran, founder of Yahoo Games, seed investor in WhatsApp – gives him a unique vantage point. In his precisely fitted understated clothing, with eyes that betray both weariness with the status quo and commitment to reshape it, Wolf resembles more visionary leader than standard business leader.

The offices of FUTO in Austin, Texas eschews the extravagant trappings of typical tech companies. No ping-pong tables divert from the objective. Instead, engineers focus over keyboards, crafting code that will empower users to recover what has been appropriated – autonomy over their online existences.
