ID Watchdog: A Bolder Ventures Transaction

ID Watchdog, a pioneer in identity theft protection and resolution services, shared the startup market with competitors like LifeLock. Using proprietary technology, the company scanned billions of data points to detect changes in its members’ personal identity profiles. When suspicious activity was identified, ID Watchdog issued alerts and immediately locked the account to prevent further damage. In cases where identity theft had already occurred, the company offered comprehensive resolution services to restore its members’ identities.

Co-founded by Bolder Venture Partners, ID Watchdog secured over $35 million in funding and successfully completed an IPO in both the U.S. and Canada under Bolder’s leadership. The company’s innovative approach and market success led to its acquisition by Equifax, solidifying its position as a leader in the identity protection industry.
