“Can a single API platform become the definitive fraud and identity infrastructure layer powering Africa's digital economy?”
Founded in 2021 as Africa's first end-to-end identity verification and onboarding platform, Dojah started with government ID lookup APIs for Nigerian businesses. After YC W22, the company expanded its product suite from simple KYC checks to a full fraud and risk infrastructure layer — adding AML monitoring, transaction monitoring, biometric verification, financial data connectivity (open banking-style), and behavioral analytics. The strategic evolution is from a point KYC tool to a continuous risk intelligence platform covering the entire customer lifecycle for Africa's digital economy.
Dojah is founded in 2021 and headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria (with US presence at 2261 Market Street #5426, San Francisco, CA 94114).
Dojah has raised $635K in total (latest round: YC W22).
