Didit, an AI-native identity and fraud infrastructure platform founded in 2023, has closed a seed round totalling $7.5m after securing an additional $6m in fresh investment to fuel its global expansion.
The latest tranche brings in backing from Y Combinator, Pioneer Fund, Orange Collective, Founders Future, Phosphor Capital, SaaSholic, and Rebel Fund. Angel investors joining the round include Tomer London, co-founder of Gusto, and Taro Fukuyama, founder of Fond. Proceeds will be directed towards global go-to-market scaling, buildout of fully programmable identity and fraud coverage across its open infrastructure, and recruitment across product, sales, and customer success functions.
The raise arrives against a backdrop of two overlapping pressures transforming the identity verification market. Generative AI has significantly lowered the barriers to creating deepfakes, synthetic identities, and injection attacks, while regulators around the world are tightening compliance requirements. In Europe, eIDAS 2.0 mandates that every EU member state provide a digital identity wallet by December 2026, with banks and payment providers required to accept them by December 2027. Simultaneously, age verification laws, financial compliance obligations, and emerging forms of delegated digital activity are pushing the demands on identity systems well beyond conventional KYC standards.
Didit was co-founded by twin brothers Alberto and Alejandro Rosas, both AI engineers, and is building what it describes as programmable identity infrastructure for the internet. Its platform connects to government data sources globally and evaluates more than 200 signals per verification, spanning document authenticity, biometric liveness, injection attack detection, deepfake analysis, and behavioural indicators. All AI models are developed in-house, with no reliance on third-party providers. The company has also built verification flows tailored to each country, with optimisation across different face types, skin tones, document formats, and lighting conditions. Didit is also the sole identity verification provider validated by Spain’s Financial Sandbox — overseen by SEPBLAC, CNMV, and the Treasury — as offering NFC plus active liveness verification that meets or exceeds the security standard of in-person checks.
The company has reached more than 1,500 active B2B customers across FinTech, crypto, marketplaces, iGaming, mobility, and government sectors in over 220 countries and territories. Revenue is growing in excess of 30% month on month, and the business is already profitable. Notably, four in five Didit customers had not previously used any identity verification provider, pointing to an entirely new market segment the company is opening up. Beyond classic KYC, Didit’s platform is now being used for liveness-based human verification without document requirements, real-time signer verification for digital signature platforms, verified-profile features in social applications, biometric payment authentication, and adaptive age estimation for compliance with age verification regulations.
Didit’s long-term ambition is to build an identity wallet that enables people to verify themselves once and use that verified identity across the entire internet — a single API call for developers, a single prompt for AI coding agents, and a single click for end users. The company frames its goal as making identity programmable in the same way that Stripe made payments programmable and Twilio made communications programmable.
Didit founder and CEO Alberto Rosas said, “No one was building for what was actually happening. Fraud kept getting smarter, regulators kept getting stricter, and millions of new businesses suddenly needed to verify their users — but every existing provider couldn’t catch the new fraud, had painful onboarding, and hid pricing behind a sales call. So we built the opposite: one API for identity and fraud, public per-module pricing, and an integration so simple that any developer can ship it in five minutes — or any AI coding agent like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor can ship it in a single prompt.”
Rosas added, “We started with identity verification because it was the hardest piece. What we’re really building is the trust layer for the internet.”
