The Kodex Mission


We are, at heart, focused on preventing harm.

Matt Donahue

Matt Donahue

Founder & CEO

Before Matt founded Kodex, he was doing Counterterrorism Intelligence for the FBI. He saw first-hand how even multi-billion dollar companies struggled to securely, and efficiently, respond to legal data requests from governments around the world. The Problem? There was no standardized, secure, or trusted medium by which the public and private sectors could interact in order to prevent real-world harm while protecting user privacy.

The Solution? Kodex.
