Inrupt raised $ 30 million, led by ForteVentures.

On December 10, eyewitnesses claimed that Tim Berners-Lee's original company raised around $ 30 million around A. Forte Ventures to provide new funding for Inrupt, but declined current bonuses. “All existing entrepreneurs” have reportedly joined these companies, including Akamai Technologies and Glasswing Ventures, as well as new entrants Allstate and Frontier Technology Initiative from the Minderoo Foundation. Inrupt was created by Berners-Lee, creator of the World Wide Web model, and technology expert John Bruce, who sought to "improve the Internet" by creating a platform for users to control their information.
