Emilia invests in companies that play on the world wide web. A lot of our investments have ties to the WordPress ecosystem. We’d like to think they all make the web a better place by being who they are. We like to be close to our portfolio companies. We’re not there to tell them what to do but instead to cheer them on and give them advice when they ask for it.

As an investor in and advisor to WordProof I help reach WordProof's goal of building a truly trusted web. The internet has a deep-rooted issue: trust. How do consumers know whether the information presented by sites can be trusted, and how can site owners claim ownership over their content? These issues can all be solved with the help of the WordProof Timestamp Ecosystem. My goal is to help build these systems on open source software and help create open standards that will improve the web for future generations.
