They were there from the beginning, the early believers who saw Veriff's potential long before it became a global leader in digital trust. In this 10th anniversary episode, Anisah Osman Britton speaks with Taavi Kotka, IT visionary, entrepreneur, and digital transformation advocate, and Rainer Sternfeld, engineer, entrepreneur, and managing partner at NordicNinja, about the early days of Veriff, what convinced them to back a young founder with a bold idea, and how that belief turned into a decade of innovation, resilience, and global impact.

Ten years ago, Veriff began as a small Estonian startup with a simple idea: to make the internet safer, one verification at a time. In this special anniversary episode, Founder and CEO Kaarel Kotkas reflects on Veriff's journey from an island in the Baltic Sea to a global leader in digital trust, and shares his vision for the next decade of identity.
