Topograph

What Topograph does

Topograph SAS is a Paris-based startup founded in 2024 that operates a real-time business data platform purpose-built for Know Your Business (KYB) compliance workflows. The platform provides direct, on-demand API access to official government business registers across 35+ countries and 100+ individual registers, returning company master data, filed documents, shareholder structures, subsidiaries, UBO graphs, and VAT validation with document-level traceability back to source filings. Its core technology stack consists of custom-built connectors to registers of any shape, automated daily change detection, PDF parsing pipelines for unstructured filings, and a unified cross-jurisdictional schema aligned to ISO 20275 (legal forms), ISO 5009 (roles), and ISIC/NACE (activity codes). The company distinguishes between an onboarding mode (P90 response time under 5 seconds, cost-optimized) and a verification mode (rigorous live-register lookups) and offers continuous monitoring via webhooks.

The product surface comprises a REST API (primary channel), a self-serve web application at app.topograph.co, and a batch-processing service for bulk remediation and enrichment. Pricing is usage-based (pay-per-request) with no minimum commitments, supported by web-app subscription access and volume discounts for batch jobs. Topograph self-classifies as an AML/CFT product provider under Article 12.2.(j) of EU Directive 2024/1640 and has secured GDPR, ISO 27001:2022, and SOC 2 Type 2 attestations, positioning it as compliance infrastructure ahead of the 2027 EU AMLR enforcement timeline.

Topograph raised a €2 million seed round in March 2026 led by Seedcamp with participation from Kima Ventures, Motier Ventures, Better Angle, and Drysdale Ventures. The company operates with 1-10 employees from its Paris headquarters (30 boulevard de Sébastopol) and serves fintechs, neobanks, payment service providers, and compliance software vendors, with 12+ named customers including Hero Pay, Spektr, Lemonway, Aiprise, Sinpex, 1POINT6, Dotfile, Harmoney, Ondorse, SimpleKYC, Cytora, and Erable. Distribution combines API-first developer onboarding, self-serve web access, direct enterprise sales via founder-led demos, and an emerging MCP-for-AI-agents developer channel.

Broad incumbents

• Veriff: Identity verification platform with growing KYB capabilities, serving fintechs, marketplaces, and crypto businesses globally. Broader scope than Topograph (KYC-primary), but overlapping customer base in fintech compliance and similar developer-first GTM motion.
• Kompass: Long-established global business directory and B2B data provider with company information, corporate hierarchy data, and KYB-adjacent offerings. Broader and more legacy in nature; overlaps on the customer base of compliance and procurement teams sourcing company data.
• Bureau van Dijk (Moody's): Now part of Moody's Analytics, Bureau van Dijk operates Orbis, the dominant global KYB database. Broader and more established than Topograph, with deeper coverage and enterprise reach, but relies on aggregated/cached data where Topograph differentiates on freshness and source traceability.
• Trulioo: Global identity verification platform with KYB and business verification capabilities across 195+ countries. Broader scope than Topograph (covers both KYC and KYB), serving large enterprises with established sales motion; overlaps on the KYB/compliance customer base.

Direct peers

• Middesk: KYB-as-a-service API platform serving fintechs, banks, and lenders with business verification, beneficial ownership, and ongoing monitoring from government sources. Closely comparable on product (API-first KYB) and customer base (US fintechs and lenders).
• Sayari: Corporate transparency and risk intelligence provider offering data on companies, UBO structures, and ownership graphs sourced from official registers and adverse media. Overlaps heavily with Topograph's ownership graph, UBO, and continuous monitoring capabilities.
• OpenCorporates: The largest open database of companies in the world, aggregating official company register data across 140+ jurisdictions via API. Most direct competitor in terms of data layer approach and target customer (compliance and KYB teams needing authoritative corporate records).
• North Data: European KYB and corporate transparency platform providing structured data from official business registers, with strong German and EU coverage. Directly comparable in geographic focus, customer base (compliance teams), and product offering (API + web for company lookups, beneficial owner identification).
• Klippa: Dutch document processing and identity verification company offering OCR-powered extraction of company data, invoices, and IDs for compliance workflows. Comparable in European focus, document-level extraction approach, and fintech/payments customer base.

Emerging players

• Dotfile: French KYB and AML compliance platform explicitly listed as a Topograph customer/integrator. Adjacent in that it consumes Topograph data for its own onboarding automation product, illustrating the partner-reseller dynamic rather than direct head-to-head competition.
