Stephen Ufford is the Founder & CEO of Trulioo.
Stephen decided to become an entrepreneur after high school in order to pursue his idea of enabling online credit reports - after seeing first hand how out-of-date the process was. He launched iQuiri in 2000 and within 3 years it was acquired.
Following his mantra of creating impact, Stephen went on to create 2 more companies following his early success, both within very similar markets. These startups were also acquired.
Today, Stephen is working on his 4th startup, Trulioo, which has raised over $25 million dollars to create the leading global identity verification service, provide instant electronic identity & address verification for 4 billion people in 60+ countries.
Stephen joins us to share his story, how he got into startups, what it’s been like building 4 startups in the fin-tech industry, his advice on how to approach fundraising, why he focuses not on product-market fit, but creating impact, what it’s like building a startup in Vancouver, and much more!
