Veriff

Veriff is an Estonian identity-verification scale-up founded in 2015 by Kaarel Kotkas (still CEO) and Janer Gorohhov, headquartered in Tallinn. Around $193M raised across ~7 rounds; no PE buyout or US-parent acquisition. Founded as Estonia’s ninth unicorn; in February 2026 acquired Vespia to expand into business-identity verification (KYB) on top of its core video-AI document and biometric stack.
