PERSONA
Business Leadership Program (SF)
PERSONA, San Francisco, CA
At Persona, we're building the first universal and comprehensive identity infrastructure to help businesses of all sizes better serve and protect their end users' identities. Our identity platform enables businesses to collect and manage their end users' personal information securely, verify that their end users are who they say they are, analyze and detect fraud and abuse, and pull sensitive reports about their end users in a privacy-centric way. In a world where consumer behaviors are changing and privacy and identity are taking on a new meaning, we want to help businesses find their superpowers and do it while putting their end users, the people, first.
Founded in 2018, Persona is a 200-person tech startup based in San Francisco. We're fortunate to be backed by some of Silicon Valley's leading venture capital firms. Persona offers flexible building blocks that help businesses fight fraud, stay compliant, and build trust among their customers. For example, Coursera uses Persona to ensure the right person is earning each degree, DoorDash verifies couriers and anyone ordering alcohol, and Lime checks the ages of customers before they ride electric scooters or bikes.
