AI-native business identity, KYB, fraud, and risk platform for banks and fintechs
Last verified August 15, 2026 · Updated daily
What Baselayer is building
Baselayer automates business identity verification (KYB), fraud detection, and risk management for banks, lenders, fintechs, and government agencies. Traditional business verification is slow and manual; Baselayer's platform enhances verifications with state-secretary validation, IRS/EIN matching, sanctions screening, and detection of business officers and registered agents, then handles onboarding optimization, risk profiling, portfolio monitoring, and workflow automation. The pitch is 'instant trust with any business in America' — replacing the fragmented, high-friction manual review that plagues B2B onboarding. As agentic commerce grows, verifying that a business (or an agent acting for it) is legitimate becomes higher-stakes.
Why this matters
KYB/business-identity is a real and growing category (Alloy and others have proven demand), and Baselayer's claim of 1,900+ institutions is meaningful traction for a 2023-founded company. The round roughly doubles its reported equity funding. CEO Jonathan Awad is a vocal, network-heavy NYC fintech founder (frequent founder gatherings), which tends to correlate with strong recruiting energy.
