Portabl is on a mission to build universal financial identity for all, aiming to bring a new type of privacy, control, ease, and transparency to every consumer's financial life. The company integrates with know-your-customer and identity verification providers like Plaid to offer consumers verified credentials that can be used to streamline onboarding across web2 and web3. Portabl's founders, Nate Soffio and Alex Yenkalov, are driven by a desire to reconcile the challenges of identity compliance in the financial system, particularly for underrepresented groups. They believe that their work will simplify and automate many parts of the identity compliance stack, making it more cost-effective, inclusive, and equitable. The company has participated in Plaid Accelerate, a program supporting early-stage fintech founders who are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color, which has provided valuable feedback and support to help them scale their product. Portabl's approach is centered on empathy for users, aiming to create solutions that address the holistic experience, not just the obvious "problem".
