The PassFort story

Donald Gillies and Henry Irish met on a programme organised by Entrepreneur First (EF), Europe’s leading pre-seed technology investor.

A conversation about anonymity in blockchain over a cup of coffee turned into a discussion about the commercial applications for this technology in the compliance space.

They had a vision to change the way compliance and trust are managed in regulated markets.

Seed investment was raised from Episode 1, EF and leading angel investors and in April 2015, PassFort was born. In October 2015, PassFort billed its first customer, Lubbock Fine - who is still a customer today.

Now, PassFort is part of the Moody’s family, merging with Moody’s Analytics. And we are building a holistic KYC and compliance workflow solution to help decision-makers act with confidence.
