EdgeCase was founded in 2023 with the goal of achieving universal internet connectivity through innovative technology and business model. Troy Etulain is founder and CEO. Prior to founding EdgeCase, Troy worked on tackling the connectivity challenge in a variety of roles, including USAID, The World Bank, UNHCR, ITU and more.

EdgeCase believes that everyone should be able to afford internet access, and that they should be provided with strong information security. We believe in enabling people to utilize their creativity and ingenuity. We believe people should have the option of disconnecting from “the internet” while still having a working and user-friendly content distribution system. Finally we believe in the potential of creating financial incentives for citizens to teach each other how to use the internet.
