What Sheriff does

Sheriff is a Chilean fintech SaaS company headquartered in Santiago (SHERIFF SpA, RUT 77.388.195-2) that operates a digital risk management platform for businesses evaluating counterparties in Chile and Peru. The platform aggregates data from 25+ public and private Chilean sources — including SII, Poder Judicial, Diario Oficial, Conservador de Bienes Raíces, Equifax/Dicom, Bolcom, and Infocom — to generate AI-computed Risk Scores, Compliance Scores, corporate network mappings (malla societaria), and continuous 24/7 monitoring with alerts within 5 seconds of loading a RUT. The company targets mid-to-large companies in factoring, financial services, legal, and compliance consulting that need to assess credit, judicial, labor, and compliance risk on clients, suppliers, and partners.

The product is delivered through a self-serve web application (app.thesheriff.cl for Chile, app.thesheriff.pe for Peru) and a REST API (v2 launched November 2024, with v1 supported through July 2026) offering Mirror API, Webhook/Callback, and direct integration modes with JWT authentication. Specialized "Ayudantes" compute weighted risk scores across judicial (150 max), commercial bulletin (150 max), labor collection (150 max), and financial debt dimensions, outputting risk labels from "Risk free" to "Critical." A compliance module screens for PEP Chile, PEP family members, international sanctions, penal records, and adverse news.

Sheriff monetizes via quote-based tiered subscription plans priced by RUT query and monitoring volume, plus usage-based charges for webhook/callback API queries and per-RUT overages, with a free 7-day trial for up to 5 RUTs and no implementation fees. The company has raised $600,000 in disclosed funding ($500K from local Chilean angels in May 2023 and $100K from Start-Up Chile in February 2025), claims 415+ clients with 1.6M+ profiles analyzed and $3.7M+ in client losses avoided, and operates a team of approximately 20 people led by CEO Vicente Cruz Infante, Head of Tech Simón Salvo, Head of Sales Lukas Veloso, and Head of Marketing Sebastián Correa. Sheriff has accumulated significant regional recognition through Google for Startups Accelerator (2024), DF MAS Pitch 1st place (2025), Fintech Awards by FinteChile 1st place (2025), and Santander X Chile 2nd place (2025).

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• SIRO (Peru): Peruvian business information and credit information provider, similar in market position to what Sheriff offers in Chile. Comparable because it sells corporate credit reports and risk data to Peruvian enterprises, the same secondary market Sheriff has entered.
• Trebol (Mexico): Mexican provider of business information, credit reports, and commercial risk data. Regional peer with comparable offering for counterparty due diligence, primarily serving the Mexican market rather than Chile/Peru.

Broad incumbents

• Bureau van Dijk (Moody's): Moody's-owned global business information provider with detailed corporate ownership networks and risk data. Closely comparable to Sheriff's malla societaria and counterparty risk features, but operating globally with far deeper capital and data resources.
• Experian: Global information services company providing credit reports, scoring, and identity/fraud services. Comparable to Sheriff in the credit reporting and counterparty risk space, particularly for financial services and B2B buyers across Latin America.
• Dun & Bradstreet: Global provider of business decisioning data and analytics, including the D-U-N-S Number and commercial credit reports. Competes with Sheriff in business risk assessment, with significantly broader geographic coverage and proprietary data assets.
• Equifax: Global credit bureau and consumer/business information services company. Operates Dicom in Chile, which is both a data partner to Sheriff and a broad incumbent offering credit reports, scoring, and monitoring at much larger scale.

Direct peers

• Datasur: Latin American business information provider with credit reports and corporate risk data across multiple LatAm markets. Comparable peer because it serves similar counterparty due diligence workflows and competes for the same regional B2B risk budgets.
• ComplyAdvantage: AI-driven AML and compliance screening platform offering sanctions, PEP, and adverse media monitoring. Direct peer in the automated compliance/KYC screening capability that Sheriff offers, though at global scale.
• Creditsafe: Global provider of business credit reports and risk data on companies worldwide. Direct competitor to Sheriff in the business counterparty risk-assessment category, with overlapping product surface (credit scores, compliance data, monitoring) for SMEs and enterprises.

Emerging players

• Veriff: Identity verification and KYC/AML platform used by global enterprises for onboarding and screening. Overlaps with Sheriff's compliance check capabilities (PEP, sanctions, penal records) at a different layer of the risk stack.
