“Digital invisibility is a widespread problem for much of the world’s populations, particularly in emerging economies, where many regions do not have credit bureaus or digital proofs of address or income,”
— said Filip Victor, Founder and CEO of MetaMap, in the statement
He further added, “By connecting fragmented databases that contain dozens of trust and reputation footprints and building easy-to-use API integrations that service providers businesses and, soon, consumers can tap into, we hope to shine a digital light on the areas of the human map that were previously inaccessible.”
