Brazilian identity verification startup Incognia raised a $31M Series B led by Bessemer Venture Partners.

The funding comes 19 months after Incognia’s $15.5M Series A in June 2022, totaling $46.5M million raised to date.
Incognia will use the capital to invest in further technology development and to expand globally.
