Nathan Aherne started working with Jason Rudolph (one ofthe founders of TecHaus) on what would become Salt (https://salt.space) in early 2022.

Nathan and Jason have history, they first worked together in 2002 on another tech business called Reddog Technology. This time is was different, they were working together in a completely different capacity and a completely different industry. Both using their systems and technical knowledge in an effort to create something special.

The agreement was that Nathan and Jason would speak for 1 hour every week and hold nothing back. Conversations with Nathan at full noise for an hour a week are not easy, they are raw and strip back any facade. And they produce incredible success.

The first thing was to refine the idea, take out all the stuff that wasn't it. Nathan's job was to do his coaching work, that unusual skill he has to bring integrity to a business, to take away the things that are not it and pull into the open the things that are. Jason's job was to do all the CEO work, to create a business, run it, hire the staff, do all of the work. The business must at least $200 million US dollars of value to the world or the deal was off. This is often how Nathan structures his deals, that the projects he works on must add more than $100 million USD of value or he does not do it. Not because money matters but because his time is limited and he wants to spend it making the biggest difference possible.

They had a 6 month goal, for Jason to be considered a crypto expert by crypto experts. That was going to be an uncomfortable ask. But if Jason is anything, he is courageous, smart and driven. In fact, Jason is Erwin Schrödinger's grandchild, the same Schrödinger of Schrödinger Cat quantum physics fame.

They achieved their 6 month goals and kept going. Iterating as they went. Looking for things that were missed, things they didn't know they didn't know.

In July 2025 Salt was released, three and a bit years after they first started talking.

Salt had resulted in many technological achievements but the one we think is special is the ability to give others access to your crypto while still keeping control of it. This is groundbreaking in crypto because before this, he who held the crypto owned the crypto. Now you can provide people with the ability to do things with your crypto but not own it. It allows some incredible features like the ability to provide funds managers access to your crypto so you can get a return on it but without the risk of them taking your crypto. It allows things to be created like escrow businesses, insurance companies, crypto versions of Wise, the list goes on.
