Congratulations! Know your customer/online id verification sure looks like the business to be in lately. Given that there's https://veriff.com which seems to be the most advanced one and they are also YC graduate, what's the advantage/edge you guys have? Selling on the price looks like a race to the bottom.

Or are you focusing on USA customers only? GDPR and all that.

Thank you! And yes, this space is definitely becoming increasingly important. Our focus has been to provide a lightweight, low-friction means by which to confidently check IDs. While we have been primarily serving North America-based customers, our product can work well for any US or Canadian IDs or ICAO compliant travel documents (which includes many European IDs).

Like Veriff, there are a lot of companies in this space. What is the differentiator other than low-friction? Most of the competitors offer ~$1 per use and are highly automated and frictionless.
