Interlink Labs has raised a total of $1M in funding over Seed round, led by Google for Startups. It reached 2.5M verified users in four months, has since passed 10M Linkers, and ran 30M+ biometric scans for partners.
Interlink is one of the few startups in which Google holds an equity stake. Google supports Interlink not only with cloud resources but also with funding for AI development and access to its extensive global network.

In the age of AI, it is getting harder to tell what is real. Convincing text, images and voices now cost almost nothing to make, and bots and deepfakes sit next to real people in the same feeds, markets and votes. When a face or a crowd can be faked, the question “is there a real person behind this?” stops being a detail and becomes the base of online trust.
InterLink’s answer is proof of personhood: confirming that each user is a unique, real human. It wants to layer that proof onto Web3, so that social, financial and governance systems are not taken over by fake identities or voting bots.
The network reached 2.5 million verified people in four months and 1M+ biometric scans in 1-2 weeks, making it, per the founders, the fastest-growing personhood protocol in Asia. It handles 10-20 thousand daily verifications at peak, with sub-500 ms response times.
Unlike many crypto projects, InterLink isn’t just printing a token for speculation. Each verified user generates usage fees and earns governance tokens. The IPO roadmap lists seven revenue streams, including payment fees, data services and licensing of the identity layer, so fintechs and game companies can pay for identity-as-a-service.
Google’s startup program backs teams with proven product-market fit and strong tech, offering bespoke Google support and guidance. What Google for Startups provides InterLink:
In short, Google is helping turn InterLink from a proof-of-concept into an enterprise-ready platform by de-risking common scaling challenges.
