What led to the creation of Mistho?
Before Mistho I built a subscription startup for electric bikes and scooters. As part of the service we had to build an underwriting process for our end-consumers and I learned a lot about fraud in all its different varieties. In particular, confirming income and employment was a key challenge for us and despite our efforts it still carried the biggest risk, as we had no 100% reliable way to confirm these details. As a result, we had to build fraud costs into our pricing. Now with Mistho I'm fixing this problem, building a 100% reliable user-permissioned format for income and employment verification.
