2019: Launched
Verifymy was founded in 2019, initially launching its age assurance solution – a diverse range of age verification and estimation methods designed to streamline the age verification process for adults and prevent children from accessing age-restricted content, products, or services.
Today, it is deployed globally by organisations across multiple sectors, including social media, online video gaming, e-commerce, and adult platforms.
Leading the way
Continuously innovating, Verifymy developed a ground-breaking proprietary method that can estimate a user’s age using just an email address. Leveraging data that a platform has already collected, this method can be deployed in the background, minimising business disruption with no user interaction required.
This privacy-preserving, frictionless and highly accurate method performs without discernible bias and is certified by the Age Check Certification Scheme to EAL level 3, the highest possible level for age estimation.
Safeguarding children & society online
Focusing on the ever-growing issue of illicit content online, Verifymy’s second solution is designed to prevent illegal content from being uploaded onto user-generated content platforms.
Verifymy has subsequently evolved into a broader online safeguarding technology provider, offering a unique suite of solutions unmatched by any other provider. Â
Our culture
Our mission is important, but it wouldn’t be possible without our incredible people. Globally distributed but working as a tight knit force, our people are directly driving change in society to ensure our vision becomes a reality.Â
DEIB
Diversity goes beyond a tickbox exercise for us. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are ingrained in everything we do. From cultural awareness training to cross-collaboration to fun virtual (and in-person) get-togethers, we’re building an environment where everyone can be their authentic selves.
We have over 14 nationalities at Verifymy, and many of us are part of underrepresented communities. We see this as a strength…different backgrounds, different cultures & different thoughts lead us to making better decisions and building a culture we can be proud of.
Co-creation
We have a small but mighty people & talent team and a strong leadership team, but they only account for 10% of the company.
One of the most important things to us is the valuable insights of our team members. We give ample opportunity for people to give their opinions, feedback & suggestions – and more importantly, we listen.
Co-creation is at the heart of our people-related decision making because we want to build a culture that people can thrive in.
Continuous improvement
‘You’re only as good as your last performance’.
We’re not as cut-throat as this, but we do see the value of striving to be better – even if that is 1% better than yesterday.
Our success to date stems not only from being resilient, dedicated & passionate about our mission but our innate ability to seek improvement. We always ask ourselves ‘What can be done better?
We don’t view mistakes as failures, but rather an opportunity for growth. If we don’t constantly look at improvement, we can never innovate, experiment and grow – both individually & at company level.
Leadership team
Our specialists are located in London, Lisboa and São Paulo.
