Connect.Me: Aims to turn your social profile into a personal reputation network, making it easier to find trustworthy people, from accountants to babysitters. (In beta.)
Tru.ly: Enables users to verify their digital identity against their real-world one by authenticating social profile data against official government data.

TrustCloud: Aggregates public data and correlates it into a "TrustScore" that measures online behaviour. Its aim: to let you own your online trustworthiness.
Scaffold: Builds easy-to-use APIs and tools that enable P2P marketplaces to conduct background checks and verify a user's identity and reputation.
Confido: Wants to become the "FICO of social commerce" by providing a portable profile that users can carry across P2P marketplaces. (In beta.)
Briiefly: Working on combining indicators from across social networks and offline activities to create a trust profile and score. (In beta.)
