  "account": "Silence Laboratories, a cybersecurity startup built on the research of its founders, is developing privacy-first technologies. The company's products utilize a cryptographic computing virtual machine (CCVM) and leverage Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP). These technologies enable computations on encrypted data without exposing underlying information. Unlike conventional data-sharing arrangements, Silence Laboratories' approach relies on trust in mathematics and cryptography, rather than policies, contracts, and intermediaries. This ensures that collaborators retain control of their data and that no raw data leaves an organization's boundaries. Silence Laboratories' 30-person team, based in Palo Alto, has extensive cybersecurity experience and has published more than 10 Tier-1 papers. The company has worked with 35 clients globally, including banks, fintechs, and digital assets players. They have been involved in cross-border initiatives and have open-sourced some of their technology.",
