https://www.violet.co/ was an early attempt at building on-chain compliance and identity management infrastructure. Later pivoted to building https://www.mauve.org/, the first fully AML compliant and RWA focused DEX. Raised $15m across two rounds of funding from BlueYard, Ethereal, FinTech Collective, Balderton, Coinbase Ventures, and many others. I left my operational role as co-CEO in June 2024, but remain involved as an advisor and board member. The company is now working on Nudge - https://fortune.com/crypto/2023/03/09/coinbase-ventures-15-million-crypto-exchange-mauve/ - https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/09/14/violets-decentralized-exchange-mauve-goes-live-for-trading-compliant-and-real-world-assets
