Durability Labs is the company I co-founded with Mark Spanbroek and Dmitriy Ryajov in July 2025, the month after I left IFT. I served as COO and Co-Founder until July 2026, when I left to build BasedmintFitness full time at OMW Ventures. The name says what we care about most in infrastructure: building things that last.
Our first project is Archivist, a peer-to-peer, incentive-based decentralized storage protocol. As COO I turned research and protocol architecture into pilot plans, client workflows, and engineering milestones, and directed delivery of the cross-platform Archivist desktop client (Tauri/Rust, React/TypeScript, and a Nim node sidecar). The company is on X at @DurabilityLabs.
