Brimming with energy and determination, Pamela Norton is a highly experienced visionary, tech futurist, dot-connector and entrepreneur with a ‘can do’ mindset. She’s a committed supporter of privacy-preserving AI and is determined to make an impact in the web3 and Metaverse space by taking back control of data privacy and safeguarding ownership rights of digital assets.
Alongside her role as a dedicated mother of two children, who Pamela proudly declares ‘are the love of my life’, Pamela is the CEO and founder of TitleChain – a decentralized finance/financial technology (DeFi/Fintech) startup. She firmly believes that digital assets combined with blockchain technology can provide a gateway to democratize access to capital markets for everyone, everywhere. Her belief in distributed ledger technology (DLT) which is commonly referred to as web3, blockchain, crypto and is the foundation of the Metaverse, led her to the title chain concept. “I started connecting the dots,” says Pamela, “to understand the power of an immutable ledger, property rights, and frictionless monetary systems. I was inspired to create a new asset class and filed a patent for a decentralized title and transfer of assets to safeguard ownership rights and reduce the use of counterfeit goods, pirated software, and theft of trade secrets that cost the U.S. economy between $226-billion and $600-billion annually.”
Pamela is ambitiously seeking to commercialize the technology through her company TitleChain. She’s offering next generation digital asset title services, targeting the $31-trillion market for intangible assets for inventors, creators and change makers of patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. She believes that the tokenization of these intangible ‘asset-backed’ digital assets can bring trillions of dollars of tangible real assets for selling, trading, borrowing/lending, and fractionalized (shared) ownership rights, into a decentralized finance marketplace for all.
It’s her mission to create a framework for a hyperconnected world of trust, where every object can self-authenticate, transact, sense its environment, transmit secure information, and process transactions via a decentralized network.
Pamela states emphatically that the rapid growth of autonomous smart devices, cloud computing, distributed ledger technology, quantum computing, and AI machine learning, and the Metaverse, calls for a global standard for trusted connected devices to power a transparent web3 economy and Metaverse.
“These trusted connected devices will be our Metaverse systems, personal data and digital e-wallets that will store all our connected physical/digital assets in the future. Our future demands us to serve the needs of the ‘global’ digitalized society to ensure privacy, trust decentralization, openness, inclusion, security and global cooperation,” states Pamela. “From corporations securing essential I.P. to consumers validating their life and assets, I have committed my time, talents and finances to leading the market to design a framework that fuses our physical ‘real-world’ to blockchain and the Metaverse, with the most secure identity, hardware, software and data layer to build the trusted ‘machine to machine transactions’ of the future.”
Pamela’s desire is to help foster new ideas, innovation and opportunities for entrepreneurs, inventors and creators worldwide. She formed TitleChain as a vehicle to empower those ideas by offering a new class of digital assets and ownership rights to spur creative ideas of the Metaverse that are still to be invented.
A determined female serial tech entrepreneur, Pamela advocates for women-led startups to be more highly valued in the tech industry. With a goal to launch new legislation to power up innovative female-led web3 companies to overcome obstacles to secure funding, Pamela submitted her testimony to the House Finance Technology Committee outlining a detailed plan to introduce the Fintech Business Act of 2022. The new law would provide a tax incentive to every investor who funds a women led or gender diverse web3/Metaverse startup. She impelled the Committee Task Force on Financial Technology to prioritize and pass digital asset legislation to encourage entrepreneurs to safely innovate the DeFi/ web3 economy. Pamela’s vision for the future is heartening: “I believe in a future where people, regardless of status, wealth, or geography, will be able to participate in the emerging edge ‘Metaverse’ economy.
A future in which we restore trusted connections with ourselves, each other, our countries, communities, the products we consume, and the environment that has been entrusted to us to care for and love. A belief in the future that harnesses technology for the good of society and all stakeholders, not just big tech.” When not reshaping the world this dynamic innovator is sincere in her philosophy to focus on what really matters and finding pleasure in the simplest moments.
