Digital identity is failing. Biology is the hard fork.
The Collapse
In the age of generative AI, everything digital—voice, video, biometrics, and code—is becoming synthetic and forgeable at scale. Digital trust is collapsing faster than regulation can respond.
The Thesis
Biology is the only non-synthetic root of identity left.
The Solution
Enigma Genetics is building the sovereign infrastructure for biological identity and consent—the anchor layer between biological truth and digital systems.
Rare Disease: Where biology already has buyers
High Stakes
Rare and Mendelian disease data is the most valuable per-byte information in healthcare. Each delayed clinical trial can cost pharma $20M+ per month in lost exclusivity and downstream revenue.
The Gap
Today's data is fragmented, unverified, and often non-consensual—creating regulatory risk, identity fraud, and scientific uncertainty.
The Market Reality
Pharma and clinics already pay premiums for verified, legally usable cohorts—but no trusted identity standard exists.
The Wedge: We solve the verification and consent crisis for the most desperate, highest-paying market first.
CypherGlyph™ — The Biological Proof-of-Personhood
CypherGlyph™
Transforms biological state into a non-reversible cryptographic proof—privacy-preserving and non-diagnostic.
1
Initial Biological Capture (One-Time Event)
User provides biological sample → Sequencing by certified lab → Raw data never exposed
Output: Verified biological dataset
2
Identity Binding & CypherGlyph™ Issuance
Biological data cryptographically bound to unique identity → CypherGlyph™ generated as biological root-of-trust
Result: Zero identity fraud • Audit-ready consent • Full ownership and economic participation
Architecture, not discovery
Technical De-Risking
No scientific breakthrough required. We assemble mature genomics technologies with battle-tested cryptography.
The George Church Standard
This aligns with George Church's long-standing position: biology must be secure, accessible, and sovereign to be useful at scale.
The Shift
Risk moves from science uncertainty to execution quality.
Impossible to copy by design
Defensibility in this space isn't just about technology—it's about creating structural advantages that compound over time. Our moat deepens with every clinic partnership and every patient who chooses sovereignty.
Patent Strategy
Foundational IP covering CypherGlyph™ encryption and biological-to-digital identity linking.
Consent-as-Code
Consent travels with the data. Rogue data becomes cryptographically unusable.
Data Gravity
Each verified ID increases switching costs. Once embedded, displacement becomes economically irrational.
Regulatory Moat
GDPR/HIPAA "Right to be Forgotten" enforced at the protocol level—not a policy patch.
High-margin revenue from day one
Clinics (B2B SaaS)
$30–$50 PMPM for identity and consent infrastructure.
Pharma (B2B Contracts)
$250k–$2M+ per cohort engagement. Multi-year contracts embedded in trial workflows.
Economics
70–90% gross margins. We provide infrastructure—not lab services.
High-urgency cohorts fund infrastructure refinement and scale.
Phase 2: Longitudinal Mapping
Time-series biological and epigenetic state tracking.
Phase 3: Reversion & Longevity
Ethical, targeted reversion enabled by trusted longitudinal data.
Go-to-Market Economics
$15-25K
CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost)
Per clinic (sales cycle, onboarding, integration)
$180K+
LTV (Lifetime Value)
Per clinic over 3 years (PMPM recurring + cohort fees)
7-12x
LTV:CAC Ratio
6-9
Payback Period (Months)
The unified architecture allows for near-zero marginal cost as we expand into each new market vertical. We build the rails once, then monetize access across multiple high-value use cases.
Key Principle: We don't start with reversion. We earn our way to it.
Operating Leverage & Unit Economics
One-Time Biological Verification
Initial identity verification (sequencing + binding): $180 / user Non-recurring per identity
Ongoing Marginal Cost (Post-Verification)
Storage, compute, audit, compliance: ~$25 / user / year
Revenue Per Verified Identity (5-Year View)
Consumer SaaS: $1,800
Clinical reuse: $900
Research / ZK queries: $450
Total LTV: $3,150
Gross Margins
Year-1 gross margin: ~93%
Lifetime gross margin: ~90%
LTV : Cost = 10.3×
Why This Scales
Verification is a one-time event
Each additional clinic or cohort reuses the same verified identity
Revenue compounds while marginal cost remains software-level
Software economics applied to biological identity.
Start Narrow. Become Unavoidable.
Vertical Expansion
One Mendelian disease → 7,000+ rare diseases.
Horizontal Expansion
Clinics → national health systems → global biobanks.
End State
The default identity layer for the bio-economy.
"Land narrow, expand inevitable. Start where the pain is sharpest. End where you're indispensable."

Seeking: $2.5M to close the round

Infrastructure doesn't compete. It becomes mandatory.
Digital identity is broken.
Biology is the only fix.
Enigma is the bridge
Between biological truth and digital trust.
"We're not monetizing DNA. We're monetizing trust."
The question isn't whether this infrastructure will exist. The question is who builds it first—and captures the network effects.
