Crederity's mission is to become the standard associated with trustworthiness on the internet by implementing an easy-to-use credential verification program and making it universally accessible.
Our Story
Crederity is a
new service that applies sophisticated technologies and programs to helping people
and businesses easily establish trust on the Internet. As the web’s first guaranteed
trust builder, Crederity enables people and businesses to certify their own integrity
and that of others.
The precursor to today's Crederity was a spinout from a graduate-undergraduate student
collaboration within the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia,
PA. After the founders won honors from Wharton in 2005 for their concept and technology,
set up shop in New York City and Philadelphia, and spent over a year assessing the
needs of potential user's, the founding team set out to prove the viability of their
concept in Bangalore, India in the summer of 2007. Why India? Given the lack of
a functioning ID system in India, and increasingly serious reports of fraud, the
founders realized that the country would be a perfect testing ground and stress
test for identity and credential authentication.
