What Helloverify does
With increasing fraud rates, the need for a credible background check system is more important than ever. Unlike other background check solutions that are manual, expensive and require a ton of documentation, HelloVerify creates a seamless experience through its technology platform that is cost effective and provides results instantly from trusted verification sources. It not only automates data collection and matching but streamlines the entire process from order requests, progress status to final report delivery. We help prevent fraud by finding facts about individuals. The online service acts as a means of authenticating and objectively verifying an individual’s identity, court case status, educational check, credit score and employment history - thereby enabling commercial transactions and hiring decisions to take place between parties. Whether you are a corporate or a startup looking to hire new employees or a homeowner seeking to verify your driver's driving license or a landlord wanting to ascertain your tenant’s payment ability - we provide a wide range of checks at affordable rates & quick turnaround time.

Background screening platform for India
We built an automated background screening platform focused on India. It replaces slow, manual, and expensive background checks with instant, technology-driven verification. Our product collects and matches data on identity, education, court records, credit scores, and employment, delivering reports quickly to businesses, landlords, and others who need credible verification.
We live in Noida, UP, India, and plan to base the company there after YC as well.
Our market and customers are primarily in India, so it makes sense to stay close to the users and data sources. Noida is also our home and the best place to build this product.
