Tyler Martin
The open web is dying. Let's build a stronger, fairer one that preserves human provenance and empowers AI to lift us up.
Canadian with roots in San Francisco, now based in Madrid. I work the seams between digital and physical worlds—the places where sovereignty, relationships, accountability, taste, and governance still belong to humans. We're mid-takeoff. The old playbooks are breaking. I build tools that help creators get paid, help people own their data, and help immigrants cut through systems designed before any of this was possible.
