The story
Founded ~2022 to remove the tradeoff between fraud and friction, Footprint started as a compound KYC + PII vaulting platform and has expanded into a full risk-operations suite including bank account linking, KYB, and — most recently — Percy, an AI agent platform that executes analyst SOPs autonomously. The company is positioning against traditional IDV vendors (Persona, Alloy, Socure) by combining identity, vaulting, and agentic investigations in one platform.
