Veremark secures $26 million to drive global expansion and launch new services

Providing an always on solution to managing employee conduct risk in the workplace

‍

London, UK — 3 February 2026:  Veremark, the global workplace trust company, has raised $26 million in Series B funding led by Gresham House Ventures, with participation from existing investors Samaipata, ACF Investors and Stage 2 Capital - inclusive of a multi-million dollar debt facility from Salica Partners. The funding will be used to drive further investment in new products, AI, and continuing to expand the company’s global scale.

‍

This latest investment follows a period of sustained growth for Veremark, which grew its revenue run rate by 300% in 2025 and recently acquired Agenda Screening Services, a specialist background screening firm, offering every type of check available, including criminal checks, instant employment checks, global sanctions, credit and bankruptcy checks in over 180 countries.

‍

Employers who use Veremark can instantly implement global background screening at scale during the hiring process or on an ongoing basis anywhere in the world.  They benefit from a compliant and derisked hiring process whilst protecting their organisation’s culture. With an increasingly dynamic global workforce, shorter tenures, and the growing use of AI to present false data or profiles and capabilities, hiring managers are finding it harder than ever to verify candidate information and confirm identity. Veremark estimates that the forward looking market for companies to adopt stronger workplace trust initiatives is $120bn per year, as organisations face growing pressure to hire safely, protect culture and maintain compliance. 

‍

Alongside pre-hire screening, Veremark has recently launched tools that support workplace integrity throughout employment, including a fully anonymous Whistleblowing and Speak Up platform and reporting functionality. The company is also a leading pioneer in the digital credentials space for the workplace, having developed its own blockchain-based candidate career passport, Verepass, which empowers candidates to own and manage their verified credentials. This reduces the need for repetitive checks, saving companies time and money.

‍

Daniel Callaghan, CEO and Co-Founder of Veremark, said: “The world of work is facing a new set of challenges.  The modern company is looking to ensure an ”always on” mindset to managing employee conduct risk.  Veremark provides companies with enhanced confidence in who they are bringing into the business and enables multiple checkpoints to ensure their behaviours remain ethical and appropriate. We help companies reduce hiring risk, improve auditability and help protect workplace integrity beyond the point of hire. Our goal is to make trust something employers can evidence and manage in practice, combining secure global screening with tools that help protect people, surface concerns earlier and strengthen workplace standards. This funding enables us to scale that globally, while continuing to invest in world class client experience as we grow.”

‍

The company now employs more than 200 people, has seven offices worldwide, including the UAE, New Zealand and the Philippines and works with more than 6,000 clients globally. Veremark’s clients include worldwide major industry players, e.g., OVO Energy and Schneider Electric.

‍

Joe Krancki and James Hendry, Investment Directors at Gresham House Ventures: We’ve known the Veremark founders for many years and have seen them operate up close across different phases of growth and market conditions. What consistently stands out is the quality of the team — thoughtful, values-driven, and genuinely world-class. Veremark has built a category-defining platform at the intersection of global hiring, regulation and trust, at a time when AI is increasing the complexity and risk of verifying people at scale. We’re excited to partner with the team as they scale internationally and continue to set the standard for how workplace trust is managed in a modern, global organisation.

‍

Tim Mills, Managing Partner at ACF Investors: With the spread of AI increasing risks around identity verification, Veremark’s technology replaces fragmented, manual background screening checks with a seamless, candidate-first approach, enabling businesses to make smarter hiring decisions. The company’s impressive and sustained growth is a testament to its best-in-class leadership team, paired with innovative technology that is helping to redefine pre-employment screening. We look forward to continue working with the team on its remarkable journey.
