History

The company was founded in 2011 by serial entrepreneur, Steve Kirsch.[2] Kirsch recruited engineers Jim Fenton, Adam Back, and Bobby Beckmann to create the flagship product, which was launched in early 2012.[3] Following the launch, the company raised US$7 million in venture capital financing from Menlo Park-based venture capital firm Khosla Ventures.[4][5]

Following their Series A, Alex Doll took over the position as CEO. Doll was previously an executive-in-residence at Khosla Ventures, and before that was a founding executive at PGP Corp. With Doll's appointment founder Kirsch moved into the CTO role. Shirish Sathaye, general partner at Khosla Ventures and Jonathan Heiliger were added to OneID's board of directors.

Following a growth period in late 2013, the company appointed Kirsch CEO.

In 2014, Fast Company named OneID one of the top 10 most innovative companies in finance.[6]
