The infrastructure play: every jurisdiction has a company registry; the internet doesn't. Entity.ID is it — a public, tamper-proof record where internet-native ventures and AI agents gain identity, disclosed ownership, and standing anyone can check.
Two-word category noun, contrasted against the incumbent "company registry" (state-bound, paper-era, human-only). We claim the definite article.
For internet-native ventures and AI agents that need to be trusted counterparties, Entity.ID is the public entity registry where they gain verifiable identity, disclosed ownership, and good standing anyone can check — and operate from day one with treasury, fundraising, and governance built in. Unlike incorporation platforms and cap-table vendors — whose records begin only after a state filing, live in private databases, and admit only humans — Entity.ID's record is public, tamper-proof, agent-inclusive, and native to the internet, with traditional incorporation as an option, never a prerequisite.
On the internet, existence should be a record anyone can check. Trust in private markets currently terminates in a vendor's database or a paper filing. Entity.ID moves the trust anchor from the vendor to the record itself. Registration is the product; standing is the feature.
Public, tamper-proof entries verifiable without trusting Entity.ID — the inverse of the private cap-table ledger that produced the 2024 Carta trust crisis.
Ventures and AI agents as first-class registrants: verifiable identity, disclosed owner/operator chains, checkable status. KYC for ventures, KYA for agents — one registry.
The Entity.ID protocol: record schema, verification marks, and a standing API any platform can integrate — the registry regulators are already asking for.
Category + wedge, speakable. The flagship is №1.
Every jurisdiction has a company registry. The internet doesn't — so its ventures run on handshakes and its AI agents transact with no legal existence at all. Entity.ID is the internet's entity registry: form a venture in minutes and get a public, tamper-proof record — verifiable identity, disclosed ownership, good standing anyone can check. Ventures operate from day one; agents get standing anchored to accountable owners. Operate today, incorporate when you need to.
Entity.ID is the entity registry for the internet — a public, tamper-proof record where internet-native ventures and AI agents gain verifiable identity, disclosed ownership, and good standing anyone can check. Founders, collectives, and agencies form a named entity in minutes — members, ownership, rules, and a treasury — and operate immediately: fundraising, governance, and compliance from day one, with traditional incorporation as an option, never a prerequisite. For the agent economy, Entity.ID provides Know Your Agent (KYA) infrastructure: registered agents carry a disclosed owner/operator chain and a standing status counterparties can verify before transacting. Underneath is the Entity.ID protocol, an open registry standard built for the rules regulators are already writing.
Entity.ID is the internet's entity registry. Form a venture in minutes and get a public, tamper-proof record — identity, ownership, and good standing anyone can check. For founders, for collectives, and for AI agents. Operate today; incorporate when you need to.
Entity.ID puts internet-native ventures and AI agents on the public record: verifiable identity, disclosed ownership, standing you can look up before you transact. Formation in minutes, operations from day one.
The public registry where anything the internet creates — a three-founder studio, a 300-member collective, an autonomous agent — becomes a verifiable entity with owners, rules, and a treasury. Registered in minutes. Checkable by anyone.

Every jurisdiction on earth has a company registry. The internet doesn't.
So the fastest-growing kinds of ventures — online teams, collectives, one-person businesses — run on handshakes. And AI agents are already moving hundreds of millions of dollars a year with no legal existence at all.
Entity.ID is the company registry for the internet. You form a venture in minutes, and you get a public, tamper-proof record — who owns it, what the rules are, whether it's in good standing. Anyone can check it. Banks check it. Clients check it. Other agents check it.
Ventures operate from day one — treasury, fundraising, governance. Incorporate later if you want; you don't have to start there.
We're building the registry the internet economy — and its regulators — are already asking for.
Here's a strange fact. You can verify a company in Delaware, in Estonia, in Singapore — every jurisdiction has a registry for exactly that purpose. But the place where most new economic activity actually starts — the internet — has no registry at all.
Think about what that means. Last year Americans filed a record five and a half million new business applications. Most of those ventures will never incorporate. Thirty million US businesses have zero employees — nearly two trillion dollars of activity — running on handshakes and Venmo. When they need trust, there's no record to point to.
And now there's a second kind of actor. In the last eighteen months, every major payment network — Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Google, PayPal — shipped rails for AI agents to pay. Tens of thousands of agents are already transacting real money. Ask what legal thing is on the other end of those transactions, and the answer is: nothing. Courts have already ruled you can't blame the bot. Regulators in the EU and at FINRA are already demanding agent disclosure and audit trails. The identity layer is getting built. The payments layer is getting built. Legal standing — ownership, accountability, someone to answer for the agent — that layer is empty.
Entity.ID is the company registry for the internet — for both kinds of actors.
A founding team forms a venture in minutes: name, partners, ownership split, a constitution. That becomes a public, tamper-proof record with its own address, and the venture operates immediately — treasury, fundraising, governance, compliance. Incorporation becomes an option, not a prerequisite.
An AI agent registers within an entity, which anchors it to the accountable people behind it. We call it KYA — Know Your Agent. Before you transact with an agent, you run one standing check — the way a bank runs KYC. Corporate personhood made companies trustworthy strangers two hundred years ago. Registration does the same for agents — without pretending they're human.
And here's the part investors should care about: the trust model is the record, not us. Cap-table vendors keep ownership in private databases — that's how you get the Carta scandal. A registry that publishes its records becomes the source of truth — the way Estonia turned its registry into a hundred-and-twenty-five-million-euro-a-year product.
Paperwork alone is a multi-billion-dollar market growing four percent a year. The registry for what the internet is actually creating — ventures plus agents — is a category with no incumbent. We intend to be its registry of record.
Entity.ID. Every jurisdiction has a company registry. Now the internet does too.
