Big news from Somerville: we're moving HQ into a space with serious soul🚀🎸
Once an iconic recording studio (James Taylor, Dropkick Murphys), most recently home to a #cybersecurity giant, now VIA's taking the mic.
Sneak peek at our new home base👇

Nobody logs on intending to fall for a phishing link.
Yet 90% of successful #cyber attacks start with a person, not a platform.
Former FBI leader Jeff Fields broke down why attackers focus so heavily on exploiting people when they're most vulnerable.

@crypto_council, thank you for including @solvewithvia in your invite-only roundtable event, "Developing a US National Security Vision for #Web3", yesterday in #DC 🎉

True or False: Winnie-the-Pooh is one of the driving forces behind our company-wide Power Up!? 🤔
You guessed it! Thanks to this adorable bear 🍯 the entire team at VIA gets together for a semi-annual company-wide event called Power Up! ⚡ A time for us to "stop bumping our heads" and brainstorm how to improve and innovate TOGETHER! (Read the blog 👇 for the original A.A. Milne reference)
Our latest Power Up! this fall had us living up to the theme, "Level Up, Scale Up, Power Up!" Here's a quick snapshot:
🔍 Level Up: Teams worked on projects to accelerate and continuously improve everyday work. The winning project, GitHub Slack Integration, promises to streamline the code review process. Shout-out to Katie Wildman from Navy’s PEO Digital team, Shaun Chaudhuri at Silicon Valley VC, The Westly Group, and our own Kate Ravanis for being exceptional judges and picking the winner!
📈 Scale Up: Our revenues grew 5x in 2023, 2x in 2024, and we're set to double again next year - in large part due to the success of programs like Power Up!
🚀 Power Up!: As we continue to champion growth, we're on the lookout for innovative minds to join us. If you're driven by curiosity, eager to explore new ideas, and seek opportunities to grow, message us!
Follow our journey here on X. Let’s make communities cleaner, safer, and more equitable. 🌍

#AI and #analytics guru, @tdav, published an article this week in @Forbes about @solvewithvia's high impact relationship with the US Navy, "Speeding Up Digital Acquisition Dramatically At The US Navy."
Two key snippets:
➡️ Justin Fanelli, the Navy's Chief Technology Officer, and Technical Director for PEO Digital, was quoted:
“We are simplifying and expediting how we identify the best internal and external innovations and getting them to the field faster and at better value.”
➡️ @colin_gounden, VIA's CEO shared:
"The key performance metric then becomes mean time to upgrade—how fast can you fix a problem or add a new feature. VIA is working hard to make that time as short as humanly possible, in some cases within the same day."

Agree @VitalikButerin that UX and security haven’t had enough attention in #wallets. We imagine an “ideal wallet” delivering:
1. Simplified user experience - single swipe for user identification / credentials and blockchain transactions
2. Highest-level security - Hybrid CNSA 1.0, CNSA 2.0, NIST post-quantum signatures and encryption + biometrics + secure enclave on device for key storage and signing, phishing protection
3. Mobile-first experience - works offline
4. Enterprise readiness - SSO + industry standards (W3C 2 and NIST)
@solvewithvia's Wallet offers this for U.S. Government agencies and Fortune 100 companies. Should we make this publicly available?
While many around the world have been feeling #Wicked 🧙 lately, we can’t help but feel grateful 🧡 for the milestones and memorable moments we have experienced so far in 2024.
Thank you to our fellow VIAneers, customers, partners, and valued members of our VIA community.
Happy Thanksgiving from our team to yours! 🍁

Drones…cyber threats…multinational partnerships…it’s harder than ever for military commanders to protect the national security information they need to keep communities safe.
