Who we are

We are a Series A, well-funded tech startup that is kicking ass and taking names. In just two short years, we have captured nearly 10% market share… because our fraud detection technology is saving our customers millions, soon to be billions of dollars.

We are a founder-led organization, passionate about building a company with awesome people and a relentless focus on the customer. And as cliche as it may sound, we walk the walk and stand behind our Core Values and how we treat one another.

We are a team of 80, soon to be 100. If you’re like us and think you have what it takes to join us, keep reading!

What we do

We stop the bad guys. Since 2020, we have saved our customers over $150MM in potential losses.
