The Trust Economy: AI & The Future of Digital Identity

Join TiE DC on October 21 for a conversation with Raj Ananthanpillai, serial entrepreneur, investor, inventor, Founder & CEO of Trua, and author of his recent book "The Trust Crisis: How Big Tech Stole Your Identity and the New Model That Takes It Back", published by Forbes. Raj has spent more than 25 years building, scaling and exiting technology companies. 

In this candid conversation, Raj will share lessons from his entrepreneurial journey from building and exiting companies to starting again with a new vision and explore one of today’s most important business challenges: establishing trust in an increasingly AI-driven digital world.

The discussion will cover entrepreneurship and scaling, navigating successful exits, AI-powered identity fraud and deepfakes, privacy and digital identity, and what business leaders and entrepreneurs should be thinking about as trust becomes a critical competitive advantage.
