Keep the Internet Human
Our Story
Built by Someone
Who Lived the Problem
Marty Weiner spent years fighting bots at Reddit and Pinterest.
As Reddit's former CTO, Marty scaled the platform to hundreds of millions of users. He watched communities get overrun by spam accounts, ban evaders spinning up new profiles in minutes, and moderators burning out from the endless battle. At Pinterest, he helped build the infrastructure for one of the internet's largest visual platforms. Same problems, bigger scale.
That's when Marty teamed up with David Graham and Axel Eschholz to build VerifyYou.
David brings operator experience and a deep understanding of community dynamics. Axel leads product with a focus on making hard things feel effortless. Together, they realized the only real solution is verification at the source. Prove you're human once, before the damage starts. That's VerifyYou.
What We Believe
Privacy is a right, not a feature.
You shouldn't have to trade your identity for trust. We prove you're human without knowing who you are.
Verification should feel good.
No anxiety. No interrogation. Just a quick, friendly flow that respects your time and dignity.
Trust is earned, not extracted.
We don't sell your data. We don't track you. We don't build profiles. We earn your trust by protecting yours.
Built by humans, for humans.
Why a bear?
We knew we needed a guide. Something friendly with a face. Something that feels safe. Something that doesn't look like a surveillance system. No floating, glowing orbs.
Bears are protectors. They're strong but gentle. Watchful but not threatening. And let's be honest, they're pretty adorable.
Our bear guides you through verification like a patient friend. No warnings. No red text. Just calm, clear directions and a reassuring presence.
This is just the beginning.
Human Check is our first product and it's available now. We're building toward a future where proving you're real unlocks real benefits, and where being a good digital citizen actually matters.
Imagine a world where verified humans get priority access, better deals, and more trust without sacrificing their privacy.
