Didit, an AI-native identity and fraud infrastructure provider founded in 2023, has closed a total seed round of $7.5m after securing an additional $6m in new financing.
The expanded round drew backing from a mix of new and returning investors, including Y Combinator, Pioneer Fund, Orange Collective, Founders Future, Phosphor Capital, SaaSholic and Rebel Fund. Angel participants include Tomer London, co-founder of payroll platform Gusto, Taro Fukuyama, founder of Fond, and a number of additional operators and angels.
The capital is earmarked for global go-to-market expansion, further development of Didit’s open identity infrastructure toward fully programmable fraud coverage, and headcount growth across product, sales and customer success.
The fundraise arrives at a point where two converging forces are fundamentally altering how identity verification works. The proliferation of generative AI has dramatically lowered the barriers to producing deepfakes, synthetic identities and injection attacks, whilst regulators worldwide are mandating verification at scale.
In Europe, eIDAS 2.0 obliges every EU member state to provide a digital identity wallet by December 2026, with banks and payment providers required to accept them by December 2027. Age verification requirements, financial compliance obligations and evolving forms of delegated digital activity are all placing fresh demands on identity infrastructure that older KYC frameworks were never designed to meet.
Didit’s platform connects to government data sources across the globe and evaluates more than 200 signals in each verification. These span document authenticity, biometric liveness, injection attack detection, deepfake analysis and behavioural signals. All AI models are developed internally with no reliance on third-party systems, and the company has built verification flows tailored to individual countries, accounting for variations in face types, skin tones, document formats and lighting conditions.
Didit is also the first identity verification provider to receive validation from Spain’s Financial Sandbox, overseen by SEPBLAC, Spain’s Financial Intelligence Unit, CNMV and the Treasury. That accreditation confirms that its NFC plus active liveness verification meets or exceeds the security standard of in-person identity checks.
Founded by twin brothers and AI engineers Alberto and Alejandro Rosas, Didit offers what it describes as programmable identity infrastructure: a developer-first system designed to let companies verify individuals, businesses and digital actions at global scale. The company’s vision is for identity to function in the same way payments do via Stripe, or communications via Twilio — accessible through a single API call or, for AI agents, a single MCP tool call.
The business has already reached profitability, with revenue growing more than 30% month on month. It counts over 1,500 active B2B clients spanning FinTech, crypto, marketplaces, iGaming, mobility and government, operating across more than 220 countries and territories.
Notably, 80% of those customers had not previously used an identity verification provider, indicating Didit is generating demand in a segment that existing tools had not reached. Use cases have broadened considerably beyond conventional KYC: clients are deploying liveness detection to confirm users are human without requiring a document, using real-time signer verification for digital signature workflows, building verified profiles in social applications, authenticating payments via facial biometrics, and meeting age verification mandates through adaptive age estimation.
Didit co-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.”
