Read preview"I think we're at the cusp of changing the world," investor Clark Golestani said of a technology called Zero Knowledge Proofs. Golestani spent 24 years as a chief information officer at pharma giant Merck, before becoming a venture investor five years ago. He's an investor and board member of a startup named Toposware that hopes to embed ZKP security into its customers' everyday internet usage. It's a tech that Andreessen Horowitz crypto investor Michael Blau recently compared to a magician's trick. Toposware is developing a cloud service, a so-called "settlement layer" where companies can add its ZKP service to their networks.
