SELF-SOVEREIGN IDENTITY SOLUTIONS BUSINESS PLAN

I. Executive Summary

Company Description

VeriKey—named to combine verification and a secure key—launches in the U.S. in 2026 as a decentralized identity platform that replaces passwords with a secure digital wallet. We operate in the cybersecurity and identity sector as a B2B SaaS provider serving regulated industries, primarily finance and healthcare. Our flagship product is a self-sovereign identity wallet that uses blockchain-backed attestations and cryptographic keys to give users true ownership of personal data. The company is led by cryptographers, blockchain engineers, and cybersecurity experts focused on removing central points of failure and delivering compliant, auditable identity flows for enterprises.

We sell enterprise integrations, identity orchestration APIs, and managed compliance services to large banks, payment providers, and health systems. Key activities include protocol development, enterprise-grade SDKs, SOC 2 and HIPAA-aligned controls, and customer onboarding and support. What sets us apart is our combination of cryptographic depth, operational compliance, and turnkey enterprise integration. Short-term goals are to complete pilot deployments with two U.S. banks and one health system in 2026; long-term goals are to reach 100 enterprise customers and enable 10 million verified wallets by 2030.

Problem

Personal data and credentials are concentrated in centralized databases, creating high-risk targets for hackers, driving frequent breaches, identity theft, and rising regulatory and remediation costs.

Enterprises in regulated sectors need a secure, compliant alternative; current solutions leave users without control of their data and businesses exposed to central points of failure, so a U.S.-based decentralized identity platform launching in 2026 that replaces passwords with a secure digital wallet and follows self-sovereign identity principles is necessary.

Solution

One-liner: A secure, decentralized digital identity wallet that returns control of personal data to individuals and removes the central point of failure.

The solution is a three-part system: a core decentralized protocol, a user-facing mobile wallet app, and APIs/SDKs for business integration. Individuals verify once and use a single credential; only the user holds the keys. Businesses receive verifiable assertions without storing personal data, cutting breach exposure, compliance burden, and liability tied to fragmented centralized databases.

Mission Statement

We empower individuals with true ownership of their digital identity and give businesses a secure, decentralized, frictionless authentication platform rooted in blockchain and self-sovereign identity principles. We eliminate the vulnerabilities of centralized data storage, make privacy a right, and aim to render passwords obsolete. We build trust through transparency, regular security audits, and a user-centric approach to data management.

Key Success Factors

Success rests on a privacy-first value proposition, tight U.S. regulatory focus, and measurable unit economics targets.

• "Your Keys, Your Identity" value proposition that gives users full wallet control and privacy.
• Regulated U.S. market focus that targets high-compliance verticals with premium pricing.
• Specialized engineering team and CISO-led security program ensuring enterprise-grade resilience.
• Unit-economics targets: CAC reduced to $1,800 and Trial-to-Paid conversion at 22.0% by 2030.
• Financial milestones: breakeven in 26 months and Year 5 revenue of $12,645,000, supported by identity and blockchain partnerships.
