According to Forbes, “The Forbes Cloud 100 represents a who&#8217;s who of the biggest and best private companies in the cloud, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. Right behind this year&#8217;s winners is a new crop of underdogs, breakout up-and-comers in cloud computing who are looking to follow in their footsteps—or even come for their laurels.
At Socure, CEO Tom Thimot and cofounders Sunil Madhu and Johnny Ayers are using identity-verification software to create new opportunities for “credit invisible” people such as immigrants and young adults.”
“Being named a Forbes Cloud 100 Rising Star is a special honor and powerful validation for our business model and technology,” said Tom Thimot, CEO for Socure. “Our ability to solve the digital identity verification problem for financial institutions and payment processors using advanced data science techniques, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, addresses a huge market opportunity. The traditional credit bureau approach has run its course and can’t meet the digital and mobile-first requirements of today’s younger consumers.”
