About Us

Honesty Online was founded by a group of experienced entrepreneurs who saw the obstacles to interacting and transacting online – users’ ability to lie, consumers’ lack of trust, fraud concerns – and found a means to overcome them. These individuals have a successful record of launching and running Internet and technology-related businesses, including ventures valued between $200 to $300 million and backed by First Union, Thomas Weisel, KKR, Thomas Lee, Hicks Muse, SCP Capital, Morgan Stanley and The Carlyle Group. Completing the team are online marketing and technology experts as well as other visionaries who are dedicated to delivering quality, confidential services that enhance user experience and increase the ROI of interaction and transaction based Internet sites.
