This week we are excited to introduce Emil Vincentz, co-founder of Acter, to the podcast!

Acter is a non-profit based in Copenhagen, Denmark, and is Beacon’s technology partner. These delightful Danes are dedicated towards developing a secure and decentralized organizing tool to provide a trusted digital space for organizations and networks to coordinate collective action and create systemic change. Jared and Emil discuss building the Beacon platform with Acter and the many solutions that this partnership can bring to the real-world.
