rewrite this title Didit Raises $6 Million for AI-Based Identity Verification – Finovate

Spain-based Didit raised an additional $6 million in Seed funding to expand its programmable identity and fraud infrastructure globally, bringing its total funding to $7.5 million.

Didit offers developers API-first tools to verify users, businesses, and online interactions, using AI to analyze more than 200 signals including biometric liveness, deepfakes, and behavioral activity.

The funding highlights growing demand for identity and fraud tools built for the AI era, as businesses face rising threats from generative AI, synthetic identities, and automated fraud attacks.

Spain-based Didit just brought in an additional $6 million for its identity verification network, boosting its total Seed funding to $7.5 million.

Investors in today’s round include Y Combinator, Pioneer Fund, Orange Collective, Founders Future, Phosphor Capital, SaaSholic, and Rebel Fund, alongside angel investors Tomer London, Taro Fukuyama, and others. Didit will use the investment to scale globally, expand its open infrastructure toward fully programmable identity and fraud coverage, and recruit new employees.

Didit was founded in 2023 to build a programmable identity infrastructure for the internet. The platform offers a developer-first way to verify people, businesses, and automated digital interactions like logging into an account, approving a transaction, or granting permissions.

The platform connects to a network of global government data sources and leverages AI to analyze more than 200 data points, such as document authenticity, biometric liveness, injection attack detection, deepfake analysis, and behavioral signals from every interaction. The company, which counts more than 1,500 customers, serves organizations across more than 220 countries and territories.

Didit reports plenty of demand for its identity verification network, saying that it is an untapped market. The company reports that 80% of its customers had not previously used an identity verification provider.

“No one was building for what was actually happening,” said Didit Founder and CEO Alberto Rosas. “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.”

Didit differentiates itself from other identity verification providers, viewing itself as programmable identity infrastructure. “What we’re really building is the trust layer for the internet,” added Rosas. In the long term, the company wants to be an identity wallet that allows people to verify once and reuse their identity everywhere.

The funding comes as identity verification providers face a rapidly changing threat landscape driven by generative AI, deepfakes, synthetic identities, and automated fraud attacks. At the same time, developers increasingly expect identity tools to be API-first, priced transparently, and easy to integrate into digital onboarding and transaction workflows.
