Steve Kirsch launched OneID in November. OneID is the first Internet identity without a username or password. More importantly, it is the world’s first trustable federated identity provider: a “bring your own identity” to consumer websites as well as enterprise applications. Check it out at www.oneid.com
Aneel Bhusri reports: “Last October, we took Workday public, a company that I co-founded and now run as co-CEO with my long time friend and mentor Dave Duffield. Skip Battle is on our board of Directors, and Leighanne Levensaler (2012 Crown Class) is a senior executive at the company, so the Crown Program is well represented!”
