We’re excited to announce our recent investment in Sequent Tech, a pioneering company revolutionizing online voting. We believe Sequent represents a unique opportunity to lead in a critical, fast-growing sector: secure, transparent, and verifiable elections.
Addressing the Challenges of Traditional Election Systems
The need for modernized voting systems is more urgent than ever. Globally, elections are facing challenges like low voter turnout, a lack of trust in the process, and inefficiencies due to outdated systems. Existing solutions, while necessary, are often costly, complex, and fail to meet the security and transparency expectations voters and governments require. Sequent’s cryptographic-based online voting platform directly addresses these issues, ensuring every vote is secure, transparent, and verifiable, from casting to counting.
A Globally Superior Technology Solution
Sequent’s technology is built on advanced cryptographic protocols, enabling voter eligibility verification, individual ballot verification, and result validation. With features like zero-knowledge proofs and open-source transparency, the platform guarantees the integrity of elections while ensuring voter privacy. This is critical in building trust among voters and election authorities, especially in an era where election security is paramount.
Impressive Traction and Market Demand
Sequent’s traction to date has been impressive. The company has already facilitated over 200 elections worldwide, serving 3.6 million voters across six countries. Their notable contracts, including a deal with the Philippines for overseas voting, demonstrate not only their ability to deliver at scale but also the increasing demand for secure online voting solutions globally.
A Visionary Team with Expertise and Focus
Sequent’s leadership team, led by CEO Shai Bargil, brings together deep expertise in technology and political science. Shai has a strong background in SaaS and sales, which has allowed him to lead Sequent’s growth in a competitive landscape. CTO Eduardo Robles, with his specialization in online voting and open source development, and head of Research David Ruescas, specialist in cryptographic voting protocols research, developed Sequent’s core technology. The team’s deep domain expertise, combined with world-renowned advisors in cryptography and cybersecurity, adds credibility and strengthens Sequent’s position in the market.
Strong Market Opportunity and Growth Potential
Online voting represents a massive opportunity and Sequent is well-positioned to capture a significant portion of this growing market, driven by increasing demand for digital solutions in government and enterprises. The company has already secured a foothold in established markets such as Canada and the EU, where digital voting adoption is on the rise, and is expanding into regions like Asia and the United States.
Sequent Tech is not only addressing a critical need in the election industry but is doing so with a technologically superior and scalable solution. Their commitment to security, transparency, and verifiability makes them a leader in the space, with the potential to drive global adoption of secure online voting. With strong traction, a visionary team, and a clear path to market leadership, we are excited to support Sequent as they continue to revolutionize the future of elections.
