Towards Type Two is in its earliest stage, and right now the team is one person. We’re assembling the founding team and looking for Co-Founders to build this with.

John K. Ferguson

CEO, Founder

John K. Ferguson is the founder and CEO of Towards Type Two. Before founding the company, he was a software engineer and later an independent AI consultant, building agents and automations for clients. He first began his career as a professional poker player, competing in a variety of high-stakes online cash games. Through poker, he saw crypto’s utility firsthand: interested since 2013, he began using Bitcoin as money for his bankroll in 2015.

More than that, crypto showed him that the rules of the system aren’t fixed or inherent. They can be changed. He founded Towards Type Two to explore how those rules can be improved.
