Nigerian identity verification startup, Identitypass has raised $2.8 million in seed funding to expand its business. The company plans to roll out new verticals around compliance, security, and data collection, push into new African countries and make new hires to its 14-man team with the new funding.

This is coming months after the startup raised $360,000 in pre-seed investment last November, bringing its total funding to $3.1 million.

The latest funding, which is led by MaC Venture Capital, involves other investors such as Y Combinator, Soma Capital, True Capital Fund, and Sherwani Capital.

Founded by Lanre Ogungbe, Niyi Adegboye and Ebuka Obi, the two-year-old startup launched a SaaS platform in addition to its APIs. The software was built to enhance Identitypass’ growth scale and excel among its competitors in the market.
