About Caden

The internet is far from perfect. One of its greatest flaws has been the decades-long abuse of our personal data.

Our data should be ours, period.

The path to realizing that is ... complicated. That’s where we come in.

Caden is fixing this pervasive and systematic problem via an ambitious and innovative approach. We’re led by industry veterans, backed by powerhouse investors, and crewed by the brightest minds in the game. We exist to make the internet a better place for consumers, and the trusted brands who strive to serve us more effectively & ethically.

We are in "stealthy" mode for now...but not for long. ツ

It’s time to Make Everything Better.
