What inVOID does

inVOID was a YC-backed identity verification startup headquartered in Gurgaon, India, founded in 2021 (with the earliest disclosed pre-seed activity in 2019). Prior to its acquisition, inVOID operated as a plug-and-play full-stack user verification suite focused on onboarding-grade identity checks and fraud signal extraction for digital-first businesses. The company participated in Y Combinator in March 2021 and closed a $1.24M seed round in June 2021 led by Cathexis Ventures and Weekend Fund, with additional capital from Kisho Capital and Seeders; cumulative disclosed funding totals approximately $1.415M.

On November 27, 2025, inVOID was acquired by Bureau, a San Francisco-headquartered AI-powered unified risk decisioning platform. The acquisition was announced alongside a $4.5M Series A extension from GMO VenturePartners (completing Bureau's Series A at $16.5M and bringing total funding to $20.5M) and a strategic partnership with GMO Payment Gateway. Post-acquisition, inVOID's user verification technology and team have been integrated into Bureau's modular platform, which combines device, behavior, identity, network, and transaction data for real-time risk decisions across onboarding, authentication, and payments.

The combined business serves enterprise and mid-market customers in financial services, fintech, eCommerce, marketplaces, gaming, and online dating verticals across 195+ countries, with named customers including Aditya Birla Capital, Spice Money, Team Credit Access, Vahak, Rapido, Uni Cards, and Khyaal. Bureau reports 300M+ identities verified, 6x year-over-year growth in both revenue and customers, and 70% reduction in manual reviews for clients. The company's standalone revenue, headcount breakdown, and post-acquisition operating metrics as a distinct entity are not disclosed in the available data.
