Verifiet is an early-stage B2B fraud prevention and company verification platform founded in 2022. The company provides verification APIs that allow businesses to assess the legitimacy of counterparties, drawing on more than 300 connected data sources including government registries across regions such as China, Russia, and the Middle East.
As of mid-2023, Verifiet had 27 paying customers out of roughly 380 registered users, generating approximately $7,800 in annualized run-rate revenue. The founding team of three splits equity equally and has operated on a bootstrapped basis since launch.
Farhan Afsahi, 22 years old at the time of the interview, has been building Verifiet for approximately 10 months. The company was targeting a pre-seed raise of $200,000 to $500,000 at a $3,000,000 valuation, seeking investors with fintech and enterprise connections rather than capital alone.

Verifiet Revenue
Verifiet reported annualized run-rate revenue of $7,800 as of mid-2023, derived from 27 paying customers. At that customer count, the implied monthly recurring revenue is roughly $650.
Farhan Afsahi told the host that average revenue per user is approximately $50 per month, though he noted the range runs from $50 to $100 per month depending on usage. The company landed its first paying customer approximately one month after launching, with that customer coming through a personal connection of Afsahi's father in the logistics industry.
Forward revenue projection: using the available data, Verifiet had been operating for roughly 10 months and reached $7,800 in annualized revenue. A GetLatka estimate for the 12 months following the interview, applying a conservative growth assumption given the very early stage and small base, would place revenue in a range of approximately $12,000 to $25,000, assuming continued organic customer additions at a similar pace. This is a GetLatka estimate based on the stated run rate and early-stage trajectory; Afsahi did not provide a forward revenue figure.

Founder / CEO
Farhan Afsahi
CEO
Farhan Afsahi, confirmed as CEO of Verifiet, was 22 years old at the time of the July 2023 interview. He started his first startup at age 18, a hybrid of Zoom and Moodle called Edpex, designed for online education. He subsequently built a web hosting startup called XGrid, during which he developed skills in design and software development.
Afsahi has been working on Verifiet for approximately 10 months as of the interview date, placing the founding of the company in late 2022. He has no formal background in cybersecurity or fraud detection, having entered the space through a logistics-industry connection that became his first customer.
Net worth was not discussed in the interview. Afsahi holds an equal one-third equity stake alongside two co-founders, meaning his ownership is approximately 33% of the company pre-raise. At the target pre-seed valuation of $3,000,000, that stake would represent a pre-money paper value of roughly $1,000,000, though this is a GetLatka estimate based on stated ownership percentage and target valuation, not a confirmed figure.

Customers
Verifiet had 27 paying customers as of mid-2023, out of approximately 380 total registered users. Farhan Afsahi stated that the average customer pays between $50 and $100 per month, with the host and Afsahi converging on approximately $50 per month as the effective average revenue per user.
The company's primary target segments are enterprises, fintechs, and banks that face regulatory requirements around counterparty due diligence. Afsahi noted that organizations including Wells Fargo, Maybank, Corner Shop (a subsidiary of Uber), and Shopify had visited the website or scheduled demos, though none of these were confirmed as paying customers at the time of the interview.
Pricing is structured on a per-API-call basis for developer and enterprise customers, with the website previously serving SMBs before the public API launch. Free-tier details and formal pricing tiers were not discussed in the interview.
Verifiet serves 27 customers.
Verifiet Business Model
Verifiet generates revenue by charging customers per API call for access to its company verification and fraud detection data layer, which connects to more than 300 data sources. The company positions itself in the regulatory technology (regtech) space, serving B2B companies that need real-time due diligence on counterparties rather than sales intelligence, which distinguishes it from competitors such as ZoomInfo, Clearbit, Cognism, and Bombora.
With 27 paying customers and approximately $7,800 in annualized revenue, the implied average revenue per customer per year is roughly $289, consistent with the stated $50 per month average. The company is bootstrapped and profitability was not discussed in the interview. Gross margin, burn rate, runway, churn, retention, LTV, CAC, and conversion rate were not discussed in the interview.
Afsahi described a planned shift in go-to-market focus from SMBs toward developers and enterprise customers following the public API launch, with fintech firms and banks as the primary target accounts.
