Two founders, one Georgia LLC, and the first notebooks on keys, discretion, and why Atlanta was enough.

Before there was a dashboard there were notes. Stone Mountain Notes is what we call the 2021 founding research: how a Georgia company should think about keys, what ‘privacy’ means when you are not a coastal fund, why FinTech without discretion is just a louder bank.

T. Colon and R. Colon incorporated Sycamore Strategies LLC in Atlanta so the work would have a legal home — and so the protocols would have people who stayed after the demo.

The notebooks are not public. The habit is. Ship. Patch. Tell the truth about what the control plane can and cannot see. Five years later, Arcanus is that habit with a product name.
