Morocco’s VOVE ID raises additional capital to support its expansion plans
The Baobab Network has invested in Moroccan regtech startup VOVE ID, helping it expand throughout Africa and the Middle East.
The high-end digital identity verification company, which launched earlier this year and has already seen rapid traction with its secure, AI-driven Know Your Customer (KYC) platform, has reached a significant milestone with the funding (amount undisclosed).
Khalid Aoussar, Tarik, and Youssef—all former Timeless Investment GmbH, RemotPass, and Pipedrive alumni—founded VOVE ID in 2024 with the goal of revolutionizing identity verification for companies in the $18.6 billion global KYC market.
By allowing users to reuse a verified digital identity across various platforms, its “verify once, use everywhere” strategy streamlines onboarding while upholding regulatory compliance. Clients from the MENA and African regions are already drawn to the platform because it offers features like automated document checks and biometric authentication.
The new funding will help VOVE ID grow its team, build its platform, and expand regionally. In order to overcome regulatory obstacles and expand more quickly, VOVE ID will also receive strategic mentoring and access to a wider ecosystem as part of The Baobab Network’s accelerator program.
For startups and SMEs that are frequently priced out of traditional solutions, VOVE ID’s primary goal is to democratize access to enterprise-grade KYC tools. With pay-as-you-go pricing, modular integration, and an intuitive user interface, the startup makes it possible for even the smallest companies to deploy reliable verification systems without sacrificing compliance or quality.
“Having The Baobab Network on board is a game-changer,” said co-founder and CEO, Aoussar. “We’re building a future where verifying your identity is seamless, secure, and accessible—regardless of business size or geography.”
With fresh capital and increasing traction, VOVE ID is establishing itself as a key participant in emerging markets’ digital identity infrastructure.
