Footprint

Footprint is a New York-based identity and risk-operations company that unifies KYC, KYB, fraud detection, authentication, and secure data vaulting into a single platform for banks, fintechs, and marketplaces. Founded in 2022 by Eli Wachs and Alex Grinman, it aims to make verified identity portable across the internet - so a person proves who they are once and reuses that verification everywhere - while using AI agents (its Percy product) to automate manual fraud and compliance review.
