About Tofu

Building the identity
layer for hiring.

AI has made it trivial to fake credentials and impersonate real people. We're building a new standard for trust — the oAuth for people.

Our Mission

We're building the identity layer for hiring.

How do you distinguish between real and fake in an AI world? This is one of the most important problems to solve in our lifetime. Tofu is building one of the most important companies of our generation to fix it. AI has made it easier than ever to fake credentials, impersonate real people, and apply to jobs at scale using synthetic identities.

State-sponsored groups are now infiltrating U.S. companies specifically to steal data, IP, and revenue. The hiring funnel has become the front door to the enterprise, and AI has cracked it wide open. It's a $96 billion problem that needs to be solved.

We're changing that. Tofu is building a new standard for trust in hiring — a system that can frictionlessly validate identity. We're calling it the oAuth for people: prove your identity once, and reuse that trust everywhere you go.

Today, companies spend billions on background checks that confirm information, but never confirm identity. In a world where fraud is being automated by AI, this model is breaking. Tofu prevents fraud before interviews ever begin, protecting teams while making the process faster for real, qualified people.

If you want to help build the trust layer for the internet, and redefine how identity works in the AI era, we'd love to talk.
