Fathom PBC

… still unprepared for the future of digital identity? The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)’s SP 800-63-4 updates are game-changers for the future of digital identity, and for any company serious about leading their industry by 2030, this is an opportunity to seize. From what I’m seeing, there is new guidance on #passkeys, digital #wallets, and stronger anti-fraud controls, these updates set a new standard for secure, accessible, and trusted #identity verification. I think for companies aiming to set the bar, this isn’t just a compliance checkbox—it’s a chance to differentiate. #Inclusivity and #security for ecosystems can now go beyond traditional methods. The future of work belongs to those who see these shifts not just as requirements but as strategic advantages. Fathom PBC will lead the way in redefining how talent is verified, validated, and valued. #DigitalIdentity #FutureOfWork #NIST #TalentRecognition #Innovation #FathomYourReality #DecentralizedIdentity #IdentityManagement #WorldofWork #Blockchain #AI #Technology

It’s Demo Day!! So excited to present on the work my team has been to since joining Techstars Workforce Development Accelerator. Special thanks to our Dave Cass, Sasha Green, and Kiana Mendes for all the support this summer. If you want to watch my cohort live, register below.

It’s been a hell of a grind since starting Techstars Workforce Development Accelerator. Join me on Thursday to see the fruits of 12 amazing companies’ hard work and dedication as we present our startups on Demo Day!

Excited to share that Fathom was selected as a finalist for Launch Tennessee’s 3686 Pitch Competition.

Techstars Mentor Madness was another transformational experience for our team at Fathom PBC. Over the course of seven days, we had the opportunity to pitch to nearly 60 mentors, each conversation lasting 20 minutes. Here's what we gained: 1. Valuable Feedback: Mentors provided critical insights on our pitch deck, narrative, and overall business strategy. 2. Engagement Insight: We got to see how mentors interact with our team, helping us gauge their fit for our mentor team. 3. Business Perspectives: We received feedback on scaling our team, managing our product’s technical scope, and enhancing customer satisfaction and user experience. We also learned some impactful mental models: * Four Areas of Risk: Problem, value proposition, solution, and distribution. * Focus Framework: Choosing three key areas to focus on daily (for me, sales, funding, and product) and delegating the rest. While our goal was to establish our mentor team for Techstars, we also built a coalition of supporters, funders, and partners. Many mentors offered to introduce us to investors, customers, and strategic partners. A huge thank you to the mentors who shared their time and expertise. Your support is propelling Fathom forward in our mission! Extra special thanks to the Techstars Workforce Development Accelerator team, Dave Cass, Sasha Green, Kiana Mendes, and Kelly Mosher for facilitating a perfect execution! Y'all killed it. Finally, thank to my team, Julie Dunlap, John Morales-Marquez and Marvin Smith for ensuring we were prepared to maximize this learning opportunity. #GiveFirst #Fathom #Techstars #MentorMadness #Startups #Founders #Entrepreneurs #WorkforceDevelopment #FutureOfWork #StartupJourney #ThankYouMentors

Let’s go team Fathom!

Reflection Reflecting on the first week of the Techstars Workforce Development Accelerator it’s clear that this has been a transformational experience. Three keywords encapsulate this journey—connection, clarity, and commitment. These words hold significant meaning, reflecting the profound impact of this program. On day one, we were all like kids on the first day of school, strangers to one another, filled with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. But as the days unfolded, we found ourselves stepping out of our comfort zones, embracing the unknown, and building a cohort community. Connection. By mid-week, we had begun to build genuine relationships with each other and admiration for the work our fellow founders were contributing to the workforce ecosystem. As we engaged in exercises and workshops that helped us understand our companies, we began to distinguish our value offerings, and other teams ceased to look like competitors but more like collaborators (again, that might just be me). Clarity. By the end of the week, we were all left with a more profound sense of purpose and dedication to the work needed in this space. We inspired each other, learned from each other, and ultimately fortified each other. There were many visionaries in the cohort, and I know it wasn’t just me when I say I am more emboldened to see the vision for my company through. Commitment. I want to thank the Techstars WFD team, managing director Dave Cass, program manager Sasha Green, business development associate Kiana Mendes, and program associate Kelly Mosher, for a fantastic first week, enriching experience, and flawless execution. I also want to extend my gratitude to my Fathom PBC team, Julie Dunlap, John Morales-Marquez, Marvin Smith, and the other founders participating in this cohort. Our diverse group, both intellectually and culturally, has been a source of inspiration and learning. Your unique perspectives and expertise have made me more confident in my ability to be a great founder and represent the Techstars community. Together, we are building a future of work centered on optimizing human potential. For those who don’t know, Fathom PBC makes it easy for workforce organizations to find, employ and track talent in the world of work. I look forward to reconnecting with everyone in July! #Techstars #GiveFirst #Fathom #WorkforceDevelopment #FutureofWork #Founders #Startups #Entrepreneurship
