AI and Computer Vision startup, Vouched secured $3 million in funding

Vouched, a Washington based developer of a proprietary AI and Computer Vision has now secured $3 million in funding.

Vouched is founded by John Baird. It is a proprietary AI and computer vision that powers end to end visual identity verification and fraud detection online in a real-time scenario.

Flying Fish Partners Venture Partner Vanessa Pegueros, said, "Flying Fish invests in applications of artificial intelligence that enable the fundamentals of the digital future. Vouched is creating a seamless, worldwide identity verification platform to provide access to life's services, from the most critical like banking, healthcare, and benefits, to the conveniences of every day."

Vouched Co-founder and CEO John Baird, said, "Vouched was founded to provide rapid, secure, and seamless identity proofing for the next generation of digital activities. The ability to see a person and verify their identity online is required for complex regulated activities such as Know Your Customer (KYC) in banking and the rise of Know Your Patient (KYP) in healthcare and telemedicine. Increasingly, security-sensitive transactions such as peer-to-peer sharing of expensive goods like motorcycles, cars, and RVs also depend on identity verification. We are helping to meet those growing needs."

The round was backed by the Flying Fish Partners with participation from Bankers Healthcare Group (BHG).

The company as of now has plans to use the new funds to further accelerate the growth of its identity proofing platform across the healthcare, fintech, and banking verticals and to move into the European market.
