17th January 2025, London, UKYoti, a leader in digital identity and age assurance, has been named in the Sunday Times 100 Tech, a ranking of Britain’s fastest-growing private technology companies. This achievement reflects Yoti’s impressive 170% Compound Annual Revenue Growth (CAGR) over the three years to March 2024, securing its position at number 13 on the list.

Robin Tombs, CEO at Yoti said: “We’re delighted to be recognised as one of the UK’s fastest growing private technology companies. Since 2014, Yoti’s innovative technology is transforming how people prove their age and identity. Our technology is supporting millions of people and businesses globally, addressing challenges like creating age-appropriate experiences, reducing fraud, stopping deepfakes, and empowering people with more control over their data. This prestigious achievement is a fantastic way for the team to celebrate their hard work. It is also encouraging evidence for investors that the digital identity and age assurance markets are growing quickly.”

Yoti has enjoyed strong growth in 2024 and 2025 is shaping up to be another busy year for the digital identity industry. There is likely to be greater demand for reusable digital IDs in the UK, with the expected passing of the Data Bill and the Government allowing digital IDs for the sale of alcohol by the end of the year.

It will also be a significant year for online safety. A number of regulations are coming into effect including the UK Online Safety Act, Australia’s Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024, and age checks for adult content in France.
