Why We Like the Deal
"A compelling opportunity to support infrastructure critical to the future of Web3"
As the deal lead on True I/O, my conviction is grounded in its foundational role in the $17 trillion tokenization market. The proprietary UCID™ technology directly addresses inefficiencies in asset traceability, offering compliance-ready solutions across financial services, IoT, and supply chains.
Its ability to deliver consensus-driven verification at scale, validated through partnerships in regulated industries, sets it apart as an institutional-grade platform. The leadership team’s proven history of scaling enterprise blockchain solutions reinforces confidence in their ability to execute effectively.
Key Merits:
- Proven Scalability: UCID™ bridges fragmented networks with enterprise-grade interoperability, aligning with compliance needs.
- Leadership Expertise: A team with demonstrated success in applying blockchain to real-world use cases.
Key Risks and Mitigants:
- Industry Inertia: Resistance from legacy systems is mitigated by a strategic focus on compliance-mandated adoption.
- Regulatory Ambiguity: True I/O’s robust intellectual property portfolio and alignment with regulatory bodies provide strong safeguards.

Community Conviction
"An essential step toward solving real-world problems in transparency and trust."
As a member of the Deal Box investor community, my conviction in True I/O stems from its ability to address one of the most critical challenges in digital transformation: trust. In a world where data breaches, counterfeiting, and lack of transparency undermine confidence, True I/O’s Universal Communication Identifier (UCID™) offers a practical and scalable solution. By embedding traceability and verification into the very fabric of asset management, the platform delivers a much-needed layer of security and accountability.
What stood out to me during conversations with the leadership team was their clear focus on execution. Vincent Maher, True I/O’s CEO, emphasized the importance of building partnerships in highly regulated industries like telecommunications and supply chain management. “Our goal isn’t just to create technology—it’s to integrate it into systems that demand absolute reliability,” he said. This thoughtful approach reflects the team’s understanding of both the market and the urgency of their mission.
What Resonates with Me:
- Real-World Impact: UCID™ isn’t just theoretical—it’s already enabling better supply chain management and asset traceability across industries that require airtight verification.
- Institutional Credibility: True I/O’s partnerships with the Telecommunications Industry Association and other regulators position it as a serious player in a field often marred by experimentation.
- Commitment to Transparency: From tokenizing mobile equipment identifiers to creating immutable records for asset management, True I/O’s approach exemplifies the kind of digital truth we need.
