Chandler Ford | Entrepreneur & Tarot Practitioner

Authenticity. When my partner and I were creating our tarot app Dvn8, we knew we needed to incorporate unique technology to help us stand out. Our desire to have users connect to their readings authentically led us to the invention of our patent pending algorithm, Gyr8. Our Gyr8 technology selects cards based on the user’s energy rather than using a simple random number generator. As we built out the rest of our platform, we found over and over again that authenticity was core to each building block. I’m not shy about my LGBTQIA+ identity and knew that I wanted to unequivocally incorporate a gender-inclusive outlook in our card descriptions. We’re also incredibly passionate about our privacy transparency because we believe that our users deserve respect when it comes to data privacy and communicating plainly about how and when your data is used.

That character plays an important role in the success of my brand of being a stuntman because it’s where it all started. Read more>>
