Every company that moves money or onboards businesses eventually hits the same wall. To let a customer in, you first have to prove who they are - and the moment you cross a border, the rules, the registries, and the data providers all change. AiPrise was built to make that wall disappear.
Founded in 2022 and shaped inside Y Combinator's Summer batch, AiPrise is an AI-powered compliance platform that verifies both individuals (KYC) and companies (KYB), scores fraud and risk, and orchestrates the entire onboarding flow from one API. Instead of stitching together a dozen regional vendors, customers plug into a single adaptive layer that reaches into 80+ local and international registries.
The pitch is unglamorous and precise: turn onboarding that used to take weeks into a task that finishes in minutes, across more than 200 countries. The company reports coverage of over 500 million verifiable businesses and 5 billion users.
In October 2025 the thesis got a vote of confidence - a $12.5 million Series A led by Headline, with Y Combinator, SixThirty Ventures, and Correlation Ventures joining. A roughly 40-person team now powers onboarding for names as large as Meta and Bridge, a Stripe company.
