  • Genuine
    Founder And Ceo
    Genuine May 2022 - Present
    San Francisco, Ca, Us
    In the rapidly growing collectibles market, the problem of fraud is rampant. The industry relies on eyewitnesses, “expert” opinions, photo matching, paper certificates of authenticity, etc. These solutions are flawed and cannot keep up with increasingly sophisticated scam artists and forgers.Genuine breaks this tradition.We are a technology-driven platform that provides verifiable proof of authenticity like never before. Our approach will fundamentally change the definition of memorabilia by bringing physical objects “to life.”
