ID.me is a private company and has not filed a registration statement for an IPO. The digital-identity verification company closed two disclosed capital raises in 2025: a $275 million credit facility from Ares Management announced January 30, 2025, and a $340 million combined round -- that credit facility plus $65 million in new Series E equity -- announced September 3, 2025, led by Ribbit Capital with Ares Credit funds, Moonshots Capital, and new investor Positive Sum participating, at a valuation exceeding $2 billion. PitchBook's VC Exit Predictor named ID.me one of nine cybersecurity startups 'with a high likelihood of going public,' as Morningstar reported on January 2, 2026, pointing to what it called ID.me's 'blockbuster year' of funding. That is a third-party statistical model built from funding and growth data, not a statement from ID.me or founder and CEO Blake Hall, who has spoken publicly about fighting AI-driven fraud rather than a stock listing. Track SEC EDGAR and ID.me's own newsroom directly, not rumors or secondary-market chatter.

Key points
A model says 'likely.' The company says nothing.
On January 2, 2026, Morningstar republished a PitchBook list of nine venture-backed cybersecurity startups its VC Exit Predictor model rated as having a high likelihood of going public, alongside names like Snyk, Illumio, and Arctic Wolf. ID.me made the list, with the writeup noting that '2025 has been a blockbuster year for the startup, with huge successive funding rounds.'
A model score built from funding pace and growth data is not the same as a company confirming plans. Founder and CEO Blake Hall has spoken repeatedly and publicly about ID.me's mission -- stopping identity fraud, which the GAO estimates cost the US government up to $521 billion a year between 2018 and 2022 -- but not about a stock listing.
Two raises in one year
ID.me's 'blockbuster year' started with a $275 million credit facility from Ares Management, announced January 30, 2025, with Ares also committing to a future equity investment. That set up a second announcement on September 3, 2025: $65 million in new Series E equity, combined with the existing credit facility for $340 million in total disclosed capital, at a valuation exceeding $2 billion. Ribbit Capital led the equity round, joined by Ares Credit funds, Moonshots Capital, and new investor Positive Sum.
'Fraud is evolving at the speed of AI -- and so are we,' Hall said in the company's announcement. Ribbit Capital general partner Justin Saslaw framed the investment around AI-agent identity, saying trusted identity tokens would 'enable secure, seamless interactions between people, organizations, and machines.' Neither comment addressed a public listing.
What ID.me actually does at this scale
ID.me's own numbers explain the investor interest: more than 152 million users, nearly 60% of US adults, with 76 million verified to the federal government's IAL2 identity-assurance standard. The company works with 20 federal agencies, 45 state agencies, more than 70 healthcare organizations, and over 600 consumer brands, and it credits its technology with helping seven states prevent more than $270 billion in unemployment fraud during the pandemic.
That scale is why PitchBook's model flags ID.me as IPO-likely. It is not, on its own, a filing. Nothing here substitutes for an S-1 on SEC EDGAR or an explicit timeline from Hall, and any specific 'ID.me IPO date' circulating online remains speculation until the company or a filing says otherwise.

How private-share access starts on Segmara
No S-1 or F-1 exists for ID.me on SEC EDGAR as of the latest site review; PitchBook's VC Exit Predictor rates it a high-likelihood IPO candidate, but that is a third-party model score, not a company statement.
ID.me closed a $275 million Ares Management credit facility announced January 30, 2025, followed by a $340 million combined round -- that facility plus $65 million in new Series E equity -- announced September 3, 2025 and led by Ribbit Capital, at a valuation exceeding $2 billion.
The company serves more than 152 million users, about 60% of US adults, including 76 million verified to the federal government's IAL2 standard across 20 federal and 45 state agencies, and logged more than 409 million logins in 2024, a 44% increase from the prior year, according to its own announcement.
Risk notes
Rumor risk: unofficial dates, valuations, or funding details circulating on social media or forums are frequently wrong or outdated and should not be treated as confirmation of anything.
Illiquidity risk: any private-market interest, indicative marks, or pre-IPO share arrangements in a company that has not filed to go public can be difficult to exit and may not reflect a tradable price.
Timing risk: a company can pause, restart, or abandon IPO preparation at any stage, including after a confidential draft filing, so no step before an effective registration statement guarantees a listing will occur.
Can retail investors track private-company shares on Segmara?
Yes. Visitors can start with the free ID.me tracker using email only, then decide whether a private follow-up makes sense. Availability, eligibility, pricing, allocation, transfer approval, documents, and final terms can still vary by route.
Why was this market historically hard for retail investors to reach?
Private-company share access has often moved through private equity firms, venture funds, insiders, institutions, and relationship-driven secondary networks. Segmara makes the starting point simpler: visitors can follow named private-company interest before any account, document upload, or payment step.
What is the easiest next step?
Open the free ID.me tracker first. It is email-only and keeps the public step narrow while final availability, pricing, eligibility, and terms are handled only through private follow-up.
Has ID.me confirmed an IPO date?
No. As of the latest site review, no S-1 or F-1 has been filed for ID.me, and founder and CEO Blake Hall has not publicly stated a listing timeline.
What is ID.me worth?
The most recent verified figure is a valuation exceeding $2 billion, set by a $340 million combined raise -- a $275 million Ares Management credit facility plus $65 million in new Series E equity -- announced September 3, 2025 and led by Ribbit Capital.
Why is ID.me considered an IPO candidate?
PitchBook's VC Exit Predictor, as reported by Morningstar on January 2, 2026, named ID.me one of nine cybersecurity startups with a high likelihood of going public, citing its two large 2025 funding rounds. That is a statistical model built on funding and growth signals, not an ID.me announcement.
Can I buy ID.me shares before an IPO?
Not through a public exchange. ID.me is a private company, and any private-share offer you encounter should be verified independently before you rely on it. Segmara does not sell, broker, or arrange purchases of ID.me shares.
