Mati offers a Plaid-like, API-first digital reputation product that lets users share verified identity data such as residency, income and tax records. Instead of relying on document photos, Mati connects to government databases and utility providers to download and share authoritative data. The company targets underserved, high-growth regions including Latin America and Southeast Asia and counts clients such as Te Creemos, Taptap Send and Tropipay. Mati emphasizes user control over data sharing as a balance between privacy and trust. The startup reports roughly 200 customers and has tripled its customer base in the past year. It currently has 50 employees and plans to add about 20 more using proceeds from the latest round. Mati builds identity verification technology used to authenticate users for fintechs, marketplaces and gig-economy platforms. The company launched in San Francisco and its two co-founders, Filip Victor and Amaury Soviche, relocated to Mexico to address large, untapped markets. Mati already works across three cities — Mexico City, St. Petersburg and San Francisco — and is commercially active in multiple countries. It targets Mexico, Brazil and Colombia, citing high payments-fraud rates and evolving fintech regulations as market opportunities. Mati says it will use new capital to continue product development and expand its geographic footprint. The startup emphasizes identity verification’s central role in enabling safe interactions for gig economy, social and commerce platforms.
