The round saw participation from Greenfield Capital, Startup Capital Ventures x SBI Fund (Softbank), Spearhead VC, Verda Ventures, Fireweed Ventures, Casey Neistat, and Web3 industry leaders, including Sreeram Kannan (EigenLayer), Sandeep Nailwal (Polygon), Julien Bouteloup (Curve), Jill Carlson (Espresso), and Hart Lambur (Across Protocol). As projects increasingly turn to Self for privacy-preserving sybil resistance, OFAC compliance, and humanity verification, this raise supports the continued development and expansion of Self.

Self Protocol is a proof-of-humanity and identity solution that leverages zero-knowledge technology to verify personhood and unique characteristics, such as age and country of residence, without disclosing sensitive information. Self is leading a human-first, secure internet by enabling privacy-preserving identity verification for users in 174+ countries. Launched by core Celo contributors Rene Reinsberg, Marek Olszewski, and Eric Nakagawa following the acquisition of OpenPassport from Florent Tavernier and Remi Colin, Self is trusted by leading Web2 and Web3 protocols, including Google Cloud, Aave, Velodrome, and more.
