How did you come up with the idea for the company? And what makes聽VerifyMy听耻苍颈辩耻别?
Ryan Shaw,聽Verifymy鈥檚 founder and CEO, was seeking an age verification solution for his previous business but couldn鈥檛 find any fit for purpose. Typically, they were too expensive, difficult to integrate with, or lacked empathy for both the business integrating with it and the end users who would be required to interact with it.
This led him to found聽Verifymy聽and launch its age assurance solution – VerifyMyAge – streamlining the age verification process for adults and preventing children from accessing age-restricted content, products, or services.
