FutureState, Inc. is a Tucson, Arizona company spun out of the University of Arizona's IT organization that sells a vendor-agnostic identity and credentialing platform for higher education. Its software sits between a campus's credential systems and the downstream services that read an ID, so a university can add mobile credentials or replace its one-card provider without rebuilding every integration. The company was co-founded by Joe Harting and Chris Augustine, both from University of Arizona Information Technology Services, with additional leadership from the campus card industry. At launch it was onboarding pilot customers with conversations underway at close to a dozen universities.
