Trustify operates a web app and iOS app that matches consumers with vetted private investigators. The platform screens investigator credentials, asks users situational questions, and assigns a private investigator who will pick up the case within 48 hours. Trustify uses transparent, pay-as-you-go pricing charged in small time blocks with no retainers; investigators are paid $30 per hour while customers pay $59 to Trustify, implying roughly a 50% take rate. The company launched a soft rollout in Washington, D.C., and reported promising early results. Trustify was founded by Danny Boice, cofounder and CTO of Speek, after his own experience navigating a fragmented private-investigation market. The article cites industry data showing annual revenue from investigation services rose to $5.2 billion between 2002 and 2012. The company has raised $1 million in angel funding and plans to expand to other U.S. cities.
