Didit, the developer of an open API for programmable identity and fraud infrastructure, has raised $7.5M in seed funding. The platform offers KYC, KYB, biometrics, AML screening, and transaction monitoring across 220+ countries with 1,000+ data sources. The capital supports expansion of its AI-native capabilities for fintech, crypto, and regulated industries.
AI Fraud Surge Meets Regulatory Deadlines
The round arrives as deepfake threats intensify and new mandates take effect. Gartner warned that 30% of enterprises will consider standalone identity solutions unreliable due to deepfakes by 2026. FINRA enhanced verification requirements starting May 2026. Didit’s unified API approach addresses gaps in legacy point solutions.
Legacy KYC Costs and Failures
Traditional verification remains slow and expensive. Didit claims 99% of verifications complete under 2 seconds and full KYC at $0.33 per check, 3-5x cheaper than incumbents. It already serves 2,000+ organizations with millions of verifications monthly and 99.99% uptime. Eighty percent of its customers had never used an identity provider before.
Modular API with Agent-Native Access
Didit built a single API that lets developers compose workflows from 25+ modules including liveness, face match, wallet screening, and device analysis. Integration takes minutes with public pricing and 500 free checks monthly. The platform added Model Context Protocol support so AI agents can ship integrations via prompt.
Spain Validation Confirms Superior Security
As Alberto Rosas noted:
"Fraud kept getting smarter, regulators kept getting stricter."
The company received formal attestation from a Spanish government body that its system exceeds in-person verification security.
YC-Led Round Signals Infrastructure Bet
Y Combinator led the round with participation from Pioneer Fund and Rebel Fund. The backing reflects investor conviction in unified identity-plus-fraud platforms that serve AI-era threats rather than siloed compliance tools.
Identity Market Expands at 15% CAGR
The identity verification market stands at $14.34B-$16.5B and is projected to reach $29.32B-$50.58B by 2030-2034 at a 15.4%-15.6% CAGR. Growth stems from regulatory pressure under MiCA, AMLD6, eIDAS 2.0, and DORA alongside rising synthetic identity fraud.
Twin Founders Drive Technical Focus
Identical twin founders Alejandro Rosas (CTO) and Alberto Rosas (CEO) lead the company. Their technical emphasis produced SOC 2 Type 1 attestation, ISO 27001 certification, and iBeta PAD Level 1 liveness results with 0% IAPAR.
Hiring AI Engineers for Biometrics
Didit is hiring an AI Engineer in San Francisco or Barcelona to advance face biometrics and a new physical-world biometric modality. The company recently added Silent Selfie Capture to block account mules.
