Episode notes
Transcript Origin Story
- Zain Zaidi founded Transcripts after his official undergraduate transcript failed to reach grad school, jeopardizing his admission.
- He fixed the issue and chose to build a system that gives individuals control over their verified credentials.
User Data Ownership Matters
- Transcripts centers on data self-sovereignty so employees own and control their credentials.
- They store immutable verification metadata on blockchain to increase auditability and reduce tampering.
Connect HR Systems For Fast Verification
- Integrate Transcripts with HRIS or payroll to issue verified employment credentials quickly.
- Employees can then share those credentials broadly to satisfy banks, landlords, and employers.
