Dhiraj Bhat

I build fraud and compliance products from zero and scale them to industry recognition.As the first product hire at Unit21, I owned the full lifecycle: from launching KYC/KYB integrations with Socure and Middesk, to creating the Unit21 Fraud Consortium from scratch, growing it to 100+ member institutions, earning a US patent for privacy-preserving record linkage, and representing it at conferences like the ABA Financial Crimes Conference.Most recently, I led Unit21's platform team building integrations with banking cores, and spent time as a Business Fellow at Perplexity AI exploring how AI reshapes enterprise workflows.What I bring: 0→1 product building in B2B SaaS, deep domain expertise in fraud prevention and AML/KYC, and the ability to ship across product, GTM, and operations simultaneously. I write about product and AI strategy for Forbes Business Development Council.Currently exploring senior PM and product leadership roles in AI, fintech, and compliance platforms.
