The company runs background checks in about 15 minutes. They intend to concentrate their efforts on the background verification ecosystem as there are very few amalgamated platforms that focus on all the stakeholders i.e, Employer, Universities, and Individuals in the ecosystem. 

Providing secure, provable education credentials reduces fraud or over-claiming qualifications on resumes. Plus, the evolving working world means that people have to retrain every few years, and need to be able to prove the skills they’ve acquired in non-college environments. They also aim to assist users who lack control over their certificates and need to carry all certifications and customizations.
