What MAKE does
MAKE is a privately held product and technology firm founded in 2016 by Alex Kelly (CEO) and Michael Steuer (CTO), operating across two distinct verticals: blockchain/Web3 infrastructure for the Casper Network and data visualization platforms for public health organizations. The company is headquartered in Sheridan, Wyoming, with approximately 35 software engineers, designers, and product experts distributed across the US, UK, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Ukraine, Turkey, Israel, South Africa, and Denmark in a remote-first model.
MAKE's blockchain vertical is an integrated suite of Casper Network products, including CSPR.live (block explorer), Casper Wallet (self-custody wallet audited by Halborn), CSPR.cloud (enterprise API middleware providing indexed blockchain data), CSPR.click (single SDK for wallet-agnostic dApp integration with fiat on-ramping and social login), CSPR.studio (no-code NFT minting), CSPR.market (NFT marketplace with transaction-fee revenue), CSPR.name (decentralized .CSPR domain name service), and the recently launched CSPR.build (end-to-end developer tools). MAKE has published 26+ open-source repositories containing 2.4M+ lines of code with 86 contributors, establishing deep technical credibility within the Casper ecosystem. Revenue from this vertical is generated primarily through transaction fees on CSPR.market and API usage fees on CSPR.cloud.
MAKE's public health vertical is anchored by the IHME Client Portal, a permissioned data delivery platform handling terabytes of IHME public health data, co-funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and licensed to 8 of the world's top 10 pharmaceutical companies. Supporting sub-products include the Maternal Health Atlas (Merck), World Heart Observatory (Novartis and Bristol Myers Squibb), Brain Health Atlas (Gates Ventures, Microsoft, Roche), and the Population Health Clock predictive tool (Merck, IHME, Doctor Evidence). Revenue derives from custom development projects, platform licensing, and ongoing support contracts with pharmaceutical companies, health research organizations, and global health foundations.

MAKE competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Moralis: Moralis provides Web3 APIs, SDKs, and authentication tools for dApp developers across EVM and select non-EVM chains. Comparable in product category to CSPR.cloud and CSPR.click but with broader chain coverage and a stronger PLG funnel.
Direct peers
- Alchemy: Alchemy provides blockchain infrastructure and developer middleware (APIs, node services, indexing) across multiple chains. Most directly comparable to MAKE's CSPR.cloud and CSPR.click offerings, though operating at multi-chain scale rather than Casper-only.
- Doctor Evidence: Doctor Evidence builds evidence-based data platforms for the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry. Already a documented MAKE partner on the Population Health Clock project, and competes for similar pharma/health-foundation platform contracts.
- QuickNode: QuickNode offers blockchain node infrastructure, APIs, and developer tooling across many chains. Direct overlap with CSPR.cloud's hosted-node and indexed-data middleware offering, though QuickNode supports dozens of chains versus MAKE's Casper focus.
Broad incumbents
- Infura (Consensys): Infura provides blockchain node infrastructure and API access primarily for Ethereum and major EVM chains. As a Consensys-owned, broad Web3 infrastructure incumbent, it parallels CSPR.cloud's middleware function but at much larger scale and across more chains.
- IQVIA: IQVIA is the dominant enterprise data, analytics, and technology provider for the pharmaceutical industry. Comparable in serving pharma clients with complex health data platforms, though at vastly larger scale and across the full pharma value chain.
- OpenSea: OpenSea is the leading cross-chain NFT marketplace. Direct functional peer to CSPR.market for NFT listing, buying, and selling — though OpenSea operates across major chains while CSPR.market is Casper-only.
- Etherscan: Etherscan is the leading Ethereum block explorer and a template for chain-specific explorers like CSPR.live. Similar product surface (transaction search, analytics, contract verification) but serves a much larger and more active chain.
- MetaMask (Consensys): MetaMask is the dominant self-custody browser/mobile wallet across EVM chains. Parallels Casper Wallet's role as the consumer-facing gateway to Casper Network, though MetaMask's brand, liquidity integrations, and chain coverage are vastly larger.
Others
- Casper Labs: Casper Labs is the core development organization behind the Casper Network blockchain. MAKE is a portfolio investor and ecosystem partner of Casper Labs, building the consumer and developer infrastructure on top of Casper's L1 — a tightly coupled but non-competing relationship.
