Element, the innovative brainchild from the creators of Matrix, is revolutionizing the way we communicate by providing sovereign, secure, and interoperable communication solutions. This platform combines consumer messaging apps, collaboration tools, and video conferencing to not only replace outdated email systems but also target shadow IT issues while enhancing security measures.
Element prides itself on its core tenets: sovereignty, security, and interoperability. Organizations are empowered with complete ownership of their data, mitigating risks of vendor lock-in and elevating privacy standards. Security is further ensured with end-to-end encryption by default, leveraging the decentralized nature of the Matrix open standard for resilient communications.
Positioned as a flagship app for Matrix-based communications, Element caters to a host of high-profile clients including NATO ACT, the United Nations, and the defense sectors of countries like the United States, France, and Germany. These entities utilize Element and its forks, such as NI2CE Messenger and Tchap.
Based in the United Kingdom, Element was founded in 2017 and operates within the Information Technology and Telecommunications sectors. The company secured a $30.00M Series B investment on July 19, 2021, backed by key players like Notion Capital, Automattic, Metaplanet Holdings, and Protocol Labs. Element thrives on its open-source commitment, which breeds transparency, bolsters security, and encourages a competitive, innovative ecosystem.
