Episode 112: NSTIC pilot winner Troop ID

Troop ID is an identity service provided by ID.me, a group that’s created digital ID cards for members of the military community, first responders, students and other groups where individuals can tie attributes about themselves and share that in a privacy enhancing and user centric way across the web, says Matthew Thompson, cofounder and COO at ID.me. Thompson and his partner, Blake Hall, are both veterans and met while attending Harvard Business School. The two connected over the challenge of accessing benefits online and how there was no easy way to do it. With more than 250,000 users already, ID.me is going to use the pilot finds to enhance the current product beyond the level one credential currently offered.
