Footprint
Footprint is a Consumer Identity & Credentials company founded in 2022 and based in New York, United States. It has raised $19M in total funding, most recently a Series A in 2024.
Founded in 2022 in New York City by Eli Wachs and Alex Grinman (a co-founder of Krypt.co, acquired by Akamai), Footprint unifies identity verification, a secure PII data vault, and authentication into a single onboarding platform. It combines document and selfie verification with passkey binding to prevent account takeovers and maintains what it describes as a centralized network of authentic, de-duplicated identities so that a verified identity can be reused and ported across companies. In May 2024 Footprint raised a $13M Series A led by QED Investors, bringing total funding to roughly $19M; backers include Index Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, and BoxGroup.
Footprint bets that consumers should fill out KYC once and carry a portable, encrypted identity everywhere, attacking the repeated-onboarding and PII-storage burden that every regulated business shares.
