In 2019, François-René “Faré” Rideau and Alexander Smart formed Mutual Knowledge Systems, aka MuKn (sounds like the “moon”), to exploit the blockchain technologies Fare’ was researching and developing at that time. The starting goal was aimed at making life on the blockchain radically simpler with a first product, the Glow programming language. Joined by Gauthier Lamothe and Zoe Braitterman, back in those early years, the team spent time consulting to blockchain foundations like Cardano, Harmony One, Nervos, Filecoin, and others who needed their specific expertise. They heralded some important blockchain projects as they worked up new technologies.
And then:
In 2023 things changed. After a consulting client abruptly withdrew support and reneged on a technology development deal, the founders along with memebers of their senior consulting team who were also entrepreneurs, decided to stop consulting. 7 new partners formed a new holding company, MuKn Inc to pool their risk fairly, and went ahead and started three great product/technology platform spinouts based on the well diversified ideas, knowledge, and experience of the new expanding group.
Then and Now:
Now we are a cross functional owner operated team of tech entrepreneurs working on a small but growing slate of startup ventures driven by new technologies and techniques and led, as a group, by 2 startup business specialists, Alex Hochberger and Peter Hubshman. So we are very excited for the future of our 3 current startup ventres. AND we really want to share our knowledge, experience, resources and the tools we are using with a small group of additional MuKn Studio Startups. Join us.
