## About

Founded in 2018 and based in Minnesota, US, Urkel Labs LLC, aka Urkel Pool, is a software firm that is developing blockchain-compliant infrastructure to improve transparency and ease-of-use in the blockchain ecosystem. Max Janke, Sean Kilgarriff, and Shane Jann are the co-founders of the company. In February 2021, Urkel raised seed funding from Polychain Capital.

The company's flagship product, Urkel Pool, is a fair-pay mining platform that supports over 50 PoW blockchain protocols. Urkel Pool has added over 48 new assets and created requirements for how mining pools should operate legally. The firm also offers verifiable rewards based on transparent calculations and distribution outputs.
