One of the biggest challenges for any start-up is obtaining the funding to get the initiative launched. We are established as a cooperative so that any returns flow back to its members – workers and researchers. We are not in this for founder or investor equity exit, but rather for sustained mutual community benefit. We are seeking sponsors aligned with our purpose who are excited about providing “patient capital” to forward research integrity.
Public trust in research is in peril. Your funding can help change that.
Our approach to research integrity is based on broad access, not only to our services but also to research resources in general.
Our goal is to make it possible for more people to participate in creating new knowledge, driving innovation and impact
VeriMe is created by Subject Matter Experts with over 20 years in the industry. We are operational founders of ORCID; experts in identity and access management; and leaders of 6 prior tech startups and advisors to many more
Sponsor Opportunities
We are seeking community investment to drive adoption and implementation of VeriMe services. This is an exciting opportunity to improve research integrity!

Option 2. You can provide patient capital in the form of a 10-year low interest loan.

Our Sponsors
September 2025. We are excited to announce that Digital Science has provided an unrestricted start-up grant to VeriMe. Digital Science have been at the forefront of re-imagining digital scholarship in service of research integrity, in particular through their support of entrepreneur-researchers. They see the value of privacy-first identity verification workflows, and their grant will help VeriMe work with partner organizations and researchers to define use cases, refine our APIs and UX, and get that much closer to launch.
