Detailed Review

History and Founding

deepidv was founded in 2025 in Toronto by Shawn-Marc Melo, a two-time exited entrepreneur in fintech and retail. The company's mission is to replace legacy KYC systems that were never designed to combat deepfakes and synthetic identities. In March 2026, deepidv closed a $1M seed round and opened a San Francisco office, growing to a tri-city footprint with engineering in Toronto, business development in San Francisco, and an office in Dallas.

Products and Platform

The core product is the deepidv Verification Engine, a single API that performs ID document verification, liveness detection, and face matching in under 150 milliseconds. The platform is fully owned end-to-end, with no third-party APIs. Additional modules include Deepfake Detection SDK with five forensic layers, open banking, address verification, background checks, and risk/compliance agents. The deepcam hardware device enables in-person identity checks in under 3.2 seconds. The Agent Suite offers four tiers (Luna, Arc, Arbiter, deepeye SDK) for compliance monitoring and risk scoring. The company also runs UAIIP (Universal AI Identity Protocol) at getai.id to verify and register AI agents.

Business Model and Pricing

deepidv operates on a pay-per-use model with no setup fees or minimums. Custom enterprise plans support millions of checks per year with SSO, role-based access, and audit logs. The company targets fintech, proptech, hospitality, HR, and iGaming sectors.

Market Position and Competition

deepidv claims to be 5x faster than legacy KYC stacks and offers cryptographic proof for every verification. The company has verified over 2 million identities as of early 2026. Competitors include traditional identity verification providers like Jumio and Onfido, but deepidv differentiates with its AI-native architecture and deepfake detection focus.

Recent Developments

The $1M seed round in March 2026 was used to accelerate product development, expand go-to-market in the US, and grow engineering and sales teams. The fraud detection suite launched at that time includes advanced deepfake detection, AI document intelligence, biometric liveness, real-time transaction risk scoring under 150ms, and multi-agent AML/KYC/CFT compliance monitoring.
