A powerhouse in document verification

Know thy customer – has become a key responsibility for everyone involved in big transactions. The process of verifying identifications and documents where legitimacy matters - is still largely done via mail, through screenshots and pdf’s. In other words, a process very vulnerable to manipulation. MEO’s platform is designed to create official third party verification of these documents, so when regulators come knocking, clients will be compliant by default.

The virtuous cycle of MEO

When MEO enters a new market, they focus on landing  big players in the transaction ecosystem (VC’s, PE firms, Law firms). Once onboarded, the clients start to onboard their clients to the platform as part of the KYC process.

Platform usage translates to instant compliance and onboarding partners translates to transaction speed. Both resulting in very capital efficient growth and high retention (90%+). It’s the kind of product-led growth seen at Slack or Dropbox, where widespread adoption takes place without a single sales call.
