The founder story
It happened to her. So she built the fix.
Kalie met a man on a dating app. A college athlete, a devoted dad, a top lawyer, a pastor. She saw his face two or three times a week for 8 months. A few of those things were true. Almost none of it was.
She had spent 14 years selling software to the most heavily regulated buyers in America, and none of it protected her. So she went looking for a simple way for one person to confirm another is who they claim to be. It did not exist. She built it.
