Didit Raises $7.5M to Verify Digital Identity

The big picture: Didit, a San Francisco startup founded in 2023 by twin brothers Alberto and Alejandro Rosas, has closed $7.5 million in seed funding. The company builds the infrastructure that lets developers verify people, businesses, AI agents, and digital transactions through a single programming interface, or API.

Why it matters:

• Rising Fraud: Deepfake usage in biometric fraud attempts surged 58% year-on-year, with injection attacks rising 40% over the same period.
• Regulatory Pressure: Europe’s eIDAS 2.0 framework mandates digital identity wallets by December 2026, compelling more online businesses to invest in verification.
• Market Growth: The identity verification market is projected to reach $29.32 billion by 2030, up from $14.34 billion in 2025.

How it works:

• Comprehensive Analysis: Didit analyzes over 200 signals per verification session, including document authenticity, biometric liveness, deepfake analysis, and behavioral patterns.
• AI-Native Design: The company builds its AI models internally and offers country-specific verification flows optimized for diverse face types, skin tones, and document formats.
• Developer-First API: Didit provides a single API for KYC, KYB, transaction monitoring, and wallet screening, with public per-module pricing and rapid integration.

The catch: The identity verification market is highly competitive, with established players and new entrants rapidly adapting to AI-driven fraud. Didit aims to differentiate by offering a developer-centric, AI-native, and comprehensive API, but faces the challenge of displacing entrenched solutions and achieving widespread adoption for its longer-term vision of a reusable identity wallet.
