Gem is a Venice, California–based blockchain platform company founded by Micah Winkelspecht and launched publicly at TechCrunch Disrupt SF in 2014. The firm offers a scalable, modular platform that refines blockchain technology into data-management applications, allowing customers to build smart networks and securely share information. After debuting with a multisignature API for developers, Gem is now targeting broader enterprise use cases in sectors such as finance and healthcare. Management believes blockchain will form the underlying architecture of future industry-wide data exchange. Recent board additions—including Pelion’s Ben Dahl and Bitium CEO Scott Kriz—underscore its push toward enterprise adoption. Gem’s traction attracted prominent investors and has resulted in $10.4 million of total capital raised to date, providing resources for further platform development and market expansion.
