Incognia – an innovator in location identity solutions – announced today that it closed $31 million in Series B funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from FJ Labs and existing investors, including Point72 Ventures, Prosus, and Valor Capital. The funding will support Incognia’s continued development of cutting-edge digital identity signals along with the company’s presence in North America, Europe, and EMEA and its expansion into new verticals such as consumer internet, financial services, and e-commerce.
The company’s technology combines device fingerprinting and exact location intelligence data into one flexible risk signal that can be customized for every stage of the user journey. And since Incognia’s last funding round in June 2022, the company has achieved remarkable success, including tripling revenue, realizing 200% net revenue retention, and converting 100% of trials. Plus, Incognia has delivered six times the return on investment to its clients while saving them millions of dollars per contract on average.
Incognia’s technology includes device tamper detection with advanced location spoofing prevention, tamper-proof location verification for user identification, and frictionless account security with phishing-resistant tools. Used individually or in combination, the features drive results, including an 80% reduction in account takeovers, a 51% reduction in fake account creation, and an 84% reduction in new user abandonment.
Incognia has a dedicated team across four offices worldwide, including San Jose, CA; New York, NY; São Paulo, Brazil; and Recife, Brazil. And the company empowers safe digital experiences for global consumer internet companies in the gig economy, marketplace, and financial services industries by combining unparalleled security, privacy, and convenience.
