Lightning⚡️Ventures Syndicate Q&A with Matt Hill who is the Founder and CEO of Start9 Labs. They are leading the charge in a new category of computing he calls "Sovereign Computing."  This is akin to the PC revolution of the 90s and they are at the forefront of this exciting new space. This is an opportunity to invest in an early-stage software company focused on privacy, empowering the masses, and creating a way for individuals and enterprises to own and operate a personal server. This is a disruption of the current cloud computing environment by means of their unique mass-market operating system. The EmbassyOS allows virtually anyone to perform highly technical functions, avoid complex command line entries and ultimately simplify/eliminate the need for a systems administrator.   

Starting with the EmbassyOS and Embassy 1, they have already gained significant traction and product-market fit.  The product roadmap includes the remarkably powerful Embassy2 and Embassy Home (est 2023). Opportunities for IoT and future applications are endless. The Start9 marketplace already has a robust offering of apps and the community marketplace will be for "everything else" that doesn't fit their strict criteria.  This is a groundbreaking company that is out to change the world and we're excited to be investing in them once again. You too can invest in amazing private companies!
