ABOUT VIDA

What are we trying to solve?

We have 7.5 billion people on Earth, of which over 1 billion cannot securely prove their identity right now.

Every year, 140 million babies are born, of which 40 million go unregistered.

Simply put, these people are deprived of social benefits, such as education and health, their civil rights to vote and travel; and are excluded from the economy because they cannot sign up for bank accounts, loans, welfare programs, etc. We believe this is unacceptable and needs to change.

At VIDA, We are creating a frictionless digital identity system. One that fulfills the needs and expectations of our times, and is available anywhere, for everyone.

Why are we solving this problem?

The United Nations (UN) and World Bank ID4D initiatives aim to provide everyone on the planet with a legal identity by 2030. This deadline is just 9 years away, and we expect a digital identity to be a legal human right by then. We at VIDA want to be pioneers in leading this change.

Who are we?

We are a highly driven team committed to solving this problem for various reasons. Whether it is to prevent misleading doctors or to ensure fair access to resources affected by corruption, our collective goal aligns.

Other things that we care about:

• Our mission is to enable trust, so our work is serious – we work hard and have ambitious goals. We balance this with humor and fun at work. We take our work seriously but don’t take ourselves too seriously.
• As a startup, we occasionally do things outside our scope to learn and grow, because it takes a village.
• We believe feedback is a gift and should be given freely, constructively, and respectfully.
• We are accountable to many stakeholders, but foremost to our mission and each other.
