Trustii

What Trustii does

Trustii is a Montreal-based background-verification and people-risk-management software company, founded in 2020/2021 and operating with 11–50 employees. It serves employers, property managers, staffing firms, and real estate platforms that need to screen candidates, tenants, or workers before engagement. The platform replaces slow, manual checks with automated workflows that the company reports typically complete in under ten minutes.

The product suite has three components: Verif, an on-demand background verification product covering credit, criminal, identity, right-to-work, biometric, watchlist/PEP, and social-media/reputation screening; Horizon, a continuous risk-monitoring product launched in 2024 that surfaces changes in employee or tenant risk profiles over time; and Profile, a self-prequalification product offered exclusively through Centris.ca, Quebec's largest real estate marketplace, that lets applicants proactively assemble their own tenant file. AI is embedded in reputation analysis, predictive credit scoring for thin-file applicants, biometric matching, and adverse-media screening, with at least one capability delivered via a partnership (Valital).

Trustii operates a two-tier commercial model. The self-serve tier charges $4.99–$39.99 per check and targets small businesses with under 50 verifications per year; the enterprise tier, for customers with 50+ checks per year, is contract-based with dedicated support and is the route by which it has signed Quebecor, Devimco, Goodjob, Mach Logistics, Greenstaff, RQRA, and Centris.ca. Distribution is increasingly channel-led: beyond Centris.ca, Trustii is integrated with property-management software vendors including UpperBee, Plexflow, and Zipplex, and has flagged HR system integrations planned for 2026. The company is venture-backed, most recently closing a $2,035,431 round in October 2024 from Accelia Capital, AQC Capital, and Boreal Ventures.
