Future Primitive builds Checkpoint, a deliberately simple photo booth that photographs a face, prints the image on receipt paper instantly, and can create a lightweight digital account tied to the moment. Since its commercial launch, Checkpoint has been deployed at more than ninety locations across cities including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, Tokyo, Seattle, and Chicago and has been used by over one million people. The company has partnered with brands and cultural institutions such as Nike, Reebok, A24, Universal Music Group, MoMA PS1, LACMA, and the LA Dodgers. Future Primitive keeps a share of brand-funded activations, licenses units to venues, and runs large-scale event installations, though it has not disclosed revenue. The team designs hardware in-house and includes founders with blockchain backgrounds who co-authored ERC-6551; the on-chain layer is used as infrastructure to enable receipts, collectibles, and lightweight wallets tied to attendance. The company operates with about fourteen employees across its New York and Vancouver offices.
