A new government relations firm that includes former administration officials began operations in Washington, DC to help cryptographic and artificial intelligence companies to shape US policy.
Nexusone Consulting is led by Jeff Ifrah, a white -collar defense lawyer; Jim Trusty, a former government lawyer who has represented the Trump administration; and Rosson Rosson, who served in the Commerce Department during the first mandate of President Donald Trump.
“There is a unique opportunity in the generation of shaping the future of technological policy,” Ifrah said in a press release. “We are here to make sure that innovators not only react to politics, but also influence it.”
Trump has indicated his intention to make the United States the “cryptographic capital of the world”, and has moved to establish a strategic Bitcoins reserve.
Located directly in front of the White House, Nexusone is promoted as a bridge between private industry and the government. The firm plans to press companies that work on the edge of AI, cryptography and social platforms.
