TESTIMONIALS
When I first met Daren, he naturally pulled the room in. His clear display of personal skills matched with business acumen was a rare combo. I was a newcomer to the blockchain field and attended a presentation by the company he founded, focused on hardware for mining. It instantly captivated me. Later, I had the chance to pitch Daren on a concept I was developing—Cirus. He became enthralled in the idea of matching data ownership and sovereignty in a meaningful way to people - which is what he stood for. It was without a doubt that his contribution, from hardware expertise to user experience, brought this concept together beautifully into a single product. I am proud to say, even through difficult times, Daren's level of optimism never waned, and his commitment to people was clear in every interaction he pursued.

Meeting Daren has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life, both personally and professionally. From the very beginning, he has demonstrated a level of integrity, grace, and deeply rooted values that immediately stood out to me. These qualities are rare and have profoundly influenced how I approach both business and life.
Working with Daren has not only sharpened my business skills but also changed the way I see the world. His expertise spanning engineering, blockchain innovation, and strategic problem-solving has been pivotal to the success of many ventures he has spearheaded or been a pivotal part of. He has an uncanny ability to identify opportunities others might overlook, tackle challenges head-on, and craft solutions that deliver real results. His expertise and big-picture thinking are extraordinary, and I feel privileged to have witnessed his leadership firsthand.
What truly sets Daren apart, however, is not just his acumen as a business leader but his ability to empower and inspire everyone around him. He leads with integrity and kindness, fostering an environment where collaboration and growth thrive.
