About Descope
We were founded in 2022 and are a software development company with 51-200 employees. We offer an External IAM Platform that helps create and customize identity journeys for customers, partners, AI agents, and MCP servers. Our platform includes no-code/low-code workflows, SDKs, and APIs.
We provide solutions for authentication, user management, and authorization, supporting methods like passwordless options (Magic Links, Passkeys, One-time passwords), FIDO-based biometrics, social logins, and traditional passwords. Our platform also includes features like MFA, SSO (SAML/OIDC), user provisioning, and user onboarding.
We help organizations reduce user friction, prevent account takeover attacks, and get a complete view of customer and AI agent identities. Specific use cases include B2C CIAM, B2B CIAM with self-service SSO and delegated admin, ATO prevention, identity orchestration across over 50 third-party tools, and identity federation.
Companies like GoFundMe, Databricks, GoodRx, Navan, and You.com use our platform. We closed a seed round in 2025, bringing our total funding to $88M.
Mission & Values
Our mission is to make customer identity a business enabler. Our main goal is helping applications move away from password-based authentication.
We operate under several guiding principles:
- Build in public: This promotes transparency, both internally and with users.
- Ship fast and slow: We deliver services quickly without sacrificing security, scalability, or resilience, using simple solutions.
- Every customer matters: We commit to a product and DevRel culture that adapts to diverse customer needs.
- Embrace the espresso: It describes a high-energy environment where we solve big challenges.
Team & Culture
Our founding team has eight engineers with over 30 years of combined experience in enterprise security, including building companies worth over $1 billion. We have a high-energy culture where we’re motivated by solving complex problems.
Employees describe a collaborative environment where we develop new features from inception through to backend and frontend implementation. Our culture encourages open communication, with a “no such thing as a dumb question” policy. We also value empathetic support and continuous development.
