About Vcheck
We started in 2012, in an era when due diligence was still largely manual, opaque, and inconsistent. Financial institutions needed reliable intelligence but faced a frustrating choice: slow, expensive boutique firms or fast, superficial automated checks. We saw an opportunity to bring the investigative rigor of boutique firms to scale through technology.
From our early days conducting background checks for commercial real estate lenders and private equity deals to building a best-in-class portfolio monitoring platform and what is arguably the industry's most advanced investigations platform, our vision remains unchanged: help businesses see clearly through complexity and make decisions with confidence.
Where We Are Today
- Based in New York City with global operations spanning the US, Romania, India, and soon-to-be London
- 25,000+ investigations annually across six continents
- Five consecutive appearances on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies
- Backed by Sunstone Partners, a leading private equity firm supporting our next phase of growth
- Trusted by top-tier financial institutions, private equity firms, and Fortune 500 companies
Vcheck has a talented and collaborative team. While many of our team members come from backgrounds in compliance, law enforcement, journalism, or intelligence, many others have built successful careers here without prior investigative experience. What unites us is intellectual curiosity, attention to detail, and a commitment to getting it right.
We're building something different: a comprehensive portfolio risk management platform that operates with the rigor of a top-tier investigative shop and the efficiency of a modern technology company. If you're excited about that combination and ready to build learning programs that scale operational excellence, we'd love to hear from you.
