SpruceID lets users control their data across the web.
SpruceID lets users control their data across the web. Instead of people signing into platforms, we imagine platforms should sign into people’s data vaults. We implement this pattern into digital wallet ecosystems for governments, enterprises, and blockchains. We believe that architectures that enable individual autonomy in the digital world are necessary for free societies and dynamic economies to thrive.
SpruceID provides digital trust infrastructure for government, enabling secure identity, verification, and data exchange across legacy and modern systems. It aims to reduce fraud, lower costs, and speed service delivery by connecting programs with trusted identity and data.
SpruceID offers identity credentials (digital wallets), secure identity gateways, and SSO capabilities, along with modernization services to digitize forms, automate workflows, and integrate legacy systems. Their solutions are designed to enable trusted data exchange, privacy-preserving verification, fraud prevention, and standardized, secure interactions across government services from intake to decision.
Who it’s for: Government agencies and programs seeking to modernize digital services, strengthen identity verification, and enable cross-program data sharing with privacy and fraud controls.

Brooklyn native. Hi – my name is Rocco. I’m a digital humanist and Joycean by education, a musician by practice, and a technologist by trade. I am a co-founder of Spruce. In a past life, I was an associate producer for a children’s media company, an editor in chief and journalist, a startup consultant on product and strategy, and eventually a strategy lead for a team at ConsenSys focused on digital identity.
