Quick Facts

• Socure raised $156 million at a $5.2 billion valuation, led by Summit Partners, with participation from Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Wells Fargo, DocuSign, and Capital One.
• The company acquired Austin-based agentic AI startup Fravity, founded in 2024, to automate fraud and compliance investigations inside its RiskOS platform.

Identity verification and fraud prevention company Socure announced a $156 million strategic growth investment on Aug. 27, valuing the Incline Village, Nevada-based company at $5.2 billion. The round includes primary capital and a secondary tender offer for employees.

Summit Partners led the deal. Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Wells Fargo, DocuSign, and Capital One also participated. Socure has now raised more than $742 million since its 2012 founding. Its previous valuation, set during a 2021 Series E, was $4.5 billion.

Alongside the fundraise, Socure is acquiring Fravity, an Austin-based agentic AI startup founded in 2024. Socure did not disclose acquisition terms. Fravity’s technology will be integrated into Socure’s RiskOS platform under the name RiskOS_Agents.

What Fravity Brings

Fravity builds AI agents that automate the investigative work behind onboarding, business due diligence, dispute resolution, and anti-money laundering compliance. Its two core products are Agentic Studio, which lets organizations orchestrate more than 70 pre-built agents or build their own, and Agentic Copilot, which executes workflows and produces case-ready outputs for analysts.

Fravity CEO Kedar Samant co-founded fraud platform Simility, which PayPal acquired in 2018. His co-founder and CTO Rushik Upadhyay served as chief compliance architect at the same company.

The initial focus for RiskOS_Agents will be watchlist screening, transaction monitoring, and know-your-business checks. Several enterprise customers had already been running products from both Socure and Fravity in production before the acquisition closed.

The Fraud Problem Driving the Deal

Socure reported an 8,000% increase in AI-driven fraud across its network last year. The company processes roughly 10 billion identity and risk decisions annually, and that data gives RiskOS_Agents a feedback loop that standalone agent vendors cannot replicate.

CEO Johnny Ayers framed the acquisition as a structural response to that shift. “AI broke the economics of fraud and compliance operations, and no institution is going to hire their way out of it,” Ayers said. “The next decade belongs to the organization who owns the full loop: the data, the models, the decision layer, and now agents that act on all three components.”

Andy Collins, managing director at Summit Partners, said identity has become the first line of defense for trust across nearly every use case in an AI-driven economy. “Socure has built that capability with rigor,” Collins said, “an AI-native architecture, a deep data advantage and documented outcomes for large enterprise and government customers.”

Business Performance and Customer Base

Socure closed Q2 2026 with $364 million in ARR, 133% net dollar retention, and 0.01% logo churn. The company counts more than 3,000 enterprise customers, including 19 of the 20 largest U.S. banks, more than 600 fintech companies, 160 public-sector organizations, and four of the seven largest U.S. technology companies by market capitalization.

Named customers include Capital One, Citi, Chime, Robinhood, DraftKings, and Revolut. The company had more than 550 employees as of March 2026, up more than 100 from the prior year.

Socure’s CTO described the fundraise as a strategic choice rather than a financial necessity. “We certainly aren’t in a position where we need the investment,” he said. “Our business has been cash flow positive.” The company said the capital will support the Fravity acquisition and continued expansion across more than 190 countries, where international volume has grown from near zero to a double-digit share of Socure’s network over the past two years.
