vouch Information

Traditional verification relies on document uploads, manual checks, and intermediaries – all now vulnerable to AI-generated fraud, costly to run, and frustrating for users. Vouch takes a different approach. Businesses verify user-owned data directly from the source – banks, payroll providers, government records, social platforms – using cryptographic proofs. No documents. No sensitive data stored. No third parties in the middle. Users stay in full control: verification happens on their own device, and only the confirmed result is shared. Businesses get instant, tamper-proof attestations covering identity, address, income, employment, and social data. The result: faster onboarding, lower compliance cost, and verification that holds up against deepfakes and document fraud. Vouch is built on vlayer and backed by a16z CSX, Credo Ventures, and Strobe Ventures.
