Socure Raises $30M in Additional Financing to Identify the Human Race: Series C Round Doubles Funding Following Breakthrough Business Results in 2018 for AI-based Digital Identity Verification Platform

February 28, 2019 By admin Leave a Comment

Socure, the leading provider of identity verification and fraud prevention services, today announced it has raised $30 million in Series C funding led by Scale Venture Partners. Previous investors participating in the round include Commerce Ventures, Flint Capital, Two Sigma Ventures and Synchrony, as well as new investor Sorenson Capital. The company announced that Rory O’Driscoll, partner at Scale Venture Partners, is joining its board of directors. This investment brings Socure’s total funding to $57.5 million.

Last year, Socure was named a Cloud 100 Rising Star by Forbes, an Innovator for Identity Proofing by research firm International Data Corporation (IDC) and a Red Herring 100 North America Winner. The company will use the new funding to accelerate its market expansion through new investments in sales, marketing, research & development and customer support initiatives. Socure’s vision is to identify the human race and eliminate 3rd party identity fraud. Socure’s mission is to become the single trusted source of identity verification.

“This funding will enable us to grow our footprint in new strategic US market sectors that are in need of accurate, automated identity verification technology, including healthcare and the public sector,” said Tom Thimot, CEO of Socure. “We will invest in the talent required to continue innovating and expanding our machine learning-based predictive analytics platform.”

Socure will demonstrate the ID+ Platform at RSA Conference 2019 booth 3334 in the South Expo next week.

Socure’s solutions continue to displace legacy identity verification systems at consumer-facing organizations across the US. In 2018, revenue grew more than 300% year-over-year fueled by growing demand for its analytics-based platform which dramatically reduces the need for human intervention associated with traditional digital identity verification techniques. Customers include 2 of the top 5 US banks, 6 of the top 10 US card issuers, 2 of the top 5 global remittance providers, a top 5 online retailer as well as digital banks, lenders and insurers.

“Companies from banks to insurance carriers to healthcare providers struggle with just how slow, expensive, and inaccurate today’s identity verification services can be. Socure offers them better accuracy and fraud detection, delivered through an easy-to-implement API connection,” said Rory O’Driscoll, partner at Scale Venture Partners. “It’s a compelling proposition and explains why this company has been so successful so fast.”
