We support startups across the ecosystem
Already part of a startup program? Great — deepidv pairs perfectly with the infrastructure credits you're already using.
Part of another program? Let us know in your application — we love working with founders who are building on modern infrastructure.
For Founders, by Founders
We built deepidv because we lived the problem. As founders, we know firsthand that scaling a product while staying compliant, fighting fraud, and building user trust is one of the hardest things you can do — and that having the right infrastructure from day one changes everything. The Start-Up Program exists because we believe no founder should have to choose between shipping fast and shipping safe.
deepidv for Startups gives today's founders the verification, fraud detection, and compliance tools they need — without the enterprise price tag getting in the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Qualified startups receive full API access to deepidv's verification, screening, fraud detection, and monitoring products — completely free for 6 to 12 months. This includes the same production-grade APIs that our enterprise customers use. No feature gates. No usage caps during your program period.
Startups between the Idea Stage and Series A, including bootstrapped founders. We prioritize startups in FinTech, Web3/Crypto, PropTech, HRTech, EdTech, and iGaming, but startups in other verticals are welcome to apply — if your product requires identity verification, fraud detection, or compliance infrastructure, we want to hear from you.
Program duration is 6 to 12 months depending on your stage, use case, and needs. We'll discuss the right fit during your discovery call.
There is no surprise billing. Before your program period ends, we'll work with you on a transition plan. Startups that graduate from the program receive preferential pricing as they scale. Our goal is to grow with you, not to lock you in.
Most startups receive a decision within a few business days of their discovery call. Once approved, you'll have API keys and documentation access immediately.
No. Our APIs are well-documented and developer-friendly, but you don't need to write the integration yourself. Many of our startup partners have a CTO or technical co-founder handle integration, and our team is available to support you through the process.
Apply anyway. We review every application individually. If you're building a product that requires verifying identities, detecting fraud, or staying compliant, there's a good chance we can help regardless of vertical.
Absolutely. Many startups use deepidv alongside an existing provider during an evaluation period, or to cover specific use cases like deepfake detection or real-time monitoring that their current vendor doesn't offer.
