In every builder's career, there's a common experience of getting caught up in implementation details while solving complex problems, leading to the creation of custom tools or thoughtless architectures. The realization that others likely face the same challenges prompts some developers to invest time in creating tools that not only make their own development easier but can also benefit other developers. Uma Roy, the co-founder and CEO of Succinct Labs, recognized an opportunity in the field of zero-knowledge cryptography (ZK) and founded a company aiming to simplify ZK development. Succinct Labs functions as a "Foundry for ZK," abstracting away the complexities of advanced cryptography to provide developers with a modular platform for building applications without delving into post-doc-level mathematics.
