Army Ranger-turned-founder Blake Hall built ID.me into a $1.5 billion identity verification platform now used by 115 million Americans to access IRS, VA, and unemployment services — critical infrastructure that combats tens of billions in annual government identity fraud.
Blake Hall is the founder and CEO of ID.me, a digital identity verification platform used by federal and state agencies, healthcare organizations, and businesses.
A combat veteran who served as an Army Ranger in Iraq, Hall founded the company in 2010 after struggling to verify military service for discounts. ID.me now verifies over 115 million users and has been valued above $1.5 billion.
