Merit

Merit is a transformative digital credentialing and identity platform that simplifies and enhances the process of credential management and verification for both individuals and organizations. Founded in 2016 by Tomer Kagan and Jacob Orrin, the company emerged from the realization that traditional methods of credential verification, such as physical papers or cards, were outdated in our increasingly digital world. By harnessing the power of technology, Merit focuses on providing secure, verified credentials that empower citizens, particularly in government and significant enterprise programs.

The company's mission is to create a seamless experience for users by ensuring that credentials are easily accessible and verifiable. This not only increases efficiency but also significantly decreases the time and effort involved in processes such as applying for jobs, securing licenses, or accessing educational resources. With a focus on sectors such as emergency management, workforce development, and educational grants, Merit has issued over 5.5 million verified digital credentials across multiple states. The platform is designed to accommodate the demands of complex government systems while upholding the highest standards of security and compliance.
