Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the World Wide Web, told Fast Company in an interview published Saturday about his plans to unveil a new startup that aims to decentralize the web and provide users control over their data and applications.

Berners-Lee teamed up with John Bruce, developer of the security tool Resilient, to establish Inrupt, which is set to launch this week to advance the use of a decentralized web platform dubbed Solid.

The Glasswing Ventures-backed startup will work to help registered users create, control and store their calendars, chat, videos, research and other information on Solid’s personal online data or pod platform, according to the report.

Inrupt will provide developers access to the Solid platform to develop decentralized apps through the startup’s website.

Berners-Lee, a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told the publication he plans to further build up his team and seek more venture funding for Inrupt later this fall.
