Valyd

Startup

Valyd is the identity infrastructure for human and AI actions - one face scan proves identity, authority, and intent.

Through one secure face scan, Valyd enables organizations to verify who a person is, confirm the credentials and permissions they hold, and prove that they personally approved a high-stakes action in real time. Once verified, individuals can securely reuse their identity across participating organizations, reducing the cost and friction of repeatedly starting the verification process from scratch. Unlike traditional identity systems that centrally store sensitive documents and biometric data, Valyd keeps personal information encrypted, decentralized, and under the individual’s control. Organizations receive the trusted verification and authorization results they need without taking custody of the underlying identity data.

One integration connects verification, authentication, credential validation, and action authorization across healthcare, workforce, and AI-enabled platforms - preventing fraud and keeping receipts: an auditable record of who approved what.

At Identity Week America 2026, Valyd will showcase its latest advancements in privacy-preserving identity verification, reusable digital identity, credential validation, and real-time authorization for human and AI-driven actions
