Etiquia

etiquia.com ↗ ·Elche

Etiquia is an Elche-based verification and reputation platform. Businesses use it to build verified profiles backed by certified documentation, which is checked by AI. Each profile gets an automatic public trust score from 0 to 100 and verified badges for websites and social media, including alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The platform also runs an AI-moderated social network with verified identities for individuals, creators and influencers, and registration is free. Etiquia launched in 2026 under VELET Coop. V., a cooperative based at the Parque Científico UMH. It was founded by David Guirao Ruiz, who previously founded Velet Cosmetics and the training centre Inesup.
