Yardstik's existing investors, Rally Ventures, MissionOG, Crosslink Capital, Grotech Ventures, and Great North Ventures all participated in this round. Yardstik will use the capital to accelerate the development of new fraud prevention defenses and monitoring technology, including motor vehicle reports and OIG exclusion monitoring, and automated alerts that notify employers when a worker's license, insurance or certification expires.
