About

The company plans to use the funds in two ways — to execute on its mission to “verify 100% of good identities and completely eliminate identity fraud” and to increase its investments “across the entire identity verification lifecycle,” further developing proofing and authentication processes, per Ayers. He added that the company is also expanding its partnerships with state and federal government actors to help them invest in digital identity technology after hiring a new head of its public sector business last month.
