The Founding Team

H33 was built by two people whose skills were made for this problem. A cryptographer who builds the infrastructure that makes data mathematically impossible to steal, and a data privacy attorney who understands exactly what the law requires that infrastructure to do. Most companies bring legal in after the technology is built. At H33, the privacy expertise and the cryptographic expertise have been in the same room since day one — because the problem demands both.

Eric Beans

Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder

Eric Beans is the technical co-founder of H33 and the engineer behind its cryptographic stack. A serial entrepreneur who previously built and exited Texting Base, he returned to solve a problem he saw coming: post-quantum security that actually works in production — fast enough, small enough, and simple enough to deploy.

He built H33's FHE, ZK, and post-quantum signing engines from scratch in Rust, with no external dependencies. He holds three issued patents and has ten applications pending covering more than 250 claims across the H33 architecture. He oversees all technical development, product direction, and API integrations.
