Every day, strangers enter homes, cars, and businesses with no real way to prove who they are. The 57 million gig workers in the U.S. have no verifiable digital identity at the point of service — a homeowner can't confirm the contractor at their door is who the platform says, and a rideshare passenger can't verify their driver before getting in the car. Existing identity verification tools like Veriff, Onfido, and Sumsub verify identity at account creation on a screen — not at the door when it actually matters. Background checks are a one-time snapshot, not real-time. The status quo is a verbal "yes" and a profile photo.
