Nigerian identity verification startup, Identitypass has raised $2.8 million in seed funding to expand its business.

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.
