Persona Identities
Founded by Rick Song and Charles Yeh, respectively software engineers at Square and Dropbox, in 2018, Persona Identities Inc serves businesses by verifying the identity of online customers. The founders aimed to help businesses reduce costly data breaches and identity theft by providing a service to verify online identities.[1] Persona created the BrowserID protocol to verify email addresses and their users.[2]
In May 2021, Persona closed Series B funding of $50 million led by Index Ventures.[3] Four months later, the company closed Series C funding of $150 million led by the Founders Fund at a valuation of $1.5 billion,[4] thus qualifying as a unicorn.[5] Persona is headquartered in San Francisco. Its competitors include Jumio and Trulioo.[6]
