TransCrypts
TransCrypts is a blockchain-based digital identity and credential verification company that lets people own and instantly share verified employment, income, education, and health records. Founded in 2020 by cousins Zain Zaidi and Ali Zaheer, it replaces the slow, costly background-check pipeline with permission-based, fraud-proof verification - including JustScreen, billed as the world's first free background check service. Backed by Pantera Capital, Mark Cuban, and others, it serves millions of users and hundreds of enterprises, including Fortune 100 and 500 companies.
Zain Zaidi
Zain Zaidi is the co-founder and CEO of TransCrypts, a blockchain-powered credential and employment verification platform he started after struggling to access his own college transcript as an SJSU student. Backed by Mark Cuban, Pantera Capital, and Techstars, he has grown the company to 450+ enterprise clients and 4 million users across 9 countries, raised $18M+, launched JustScreen (the world's first free background check service), and earned a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2026 — all before turning 30. His platform has also helped over 4,000 Ukrainian refugees access medical records.
