💨 Publish truthful, compliant UGC ads in 3 minutes — not 3 weeks.
We didn’t set out to build a startup. We built a survival system after getting hit with over $4M in legal threats, zero institutional protection, and no roadmap for what came next. We survived. Then we productized the system that worked. Now it’s yours.
We don't just build features. We build for legal survivability. Meet our founding team.
Kaeya Majmundar
Founder & CEO
Survived $4M+ in legal threats. Then built the system that could’ve saved her.
Kaeya founded SwayID after surviving over $4 million in coordinated legal threats with no lawyers, no protection, and no precedent for how to fight back.
What started as survival became a system: a full-stack disclosure and proof platform designed to protect creators, brands, and agencies in the era of FTC fines and UGC lawsuits.
Prior to SwayID, Kaeya led multiple product pivots across commerce and creator infrastructure, each one closer to the legal fault lines that now define digital advertising. She’s been building under pressure for over a decade: from Shark Tank at 21 to surviving investor abandonment and rebuilding from zero, publicly and in real time.
Now, she’s built that system into infrastructure so the next generation of brands doesn’t have to learn the hard way.
Rajat Mohindroo
Founding Legal Lead
From 300+ companies to one clear mission: make digital compliance survivable.
Rajat has advised over 300 businesses across jurisdictions from early-stage startups to global platforms on data privacy, IP, AI, e-commerce, and regulatory risk.
Rajat's specialty: turning complex, fast-changing tech into structured legal systems brands can actually use.
At SwayID, Rajat leads legal product and compliance architecting the rule logic, documentation structure, and enforcement-readiness behind every disclosure we generate.
A former aspiring YouTuber, Rajat’s uniquely fluent in the legal blind spots creators face today. Now he’s channeling that energy into protecting the entire creator economy, one clause at a time. If it touches UGC, AI, or FTC enforcement, Rajat’s already thought it through.
Mariya Kaed
Founding AE
From UN-backed startup programs to scaling fintech teams and logistics operations, Mariya’s career has always centered on high-impact storytelling and building lasting relationships. Originally from Sri Lanka and now based in DC, she brings 10+ years of experience spanning fintech, logistics, PR, and early-stage startups.
She’s helped launch financial products, shape pitch decks with founders, manage global client portfolios, and lead programs that empowered hundreds of SMEs and creators. A certified UNDP mentor and McKinsey Next Gen Women in Leadership alumna, she blends creative thinking with operational rigor—and a strong belief that compliance doesn’t have to be complicated.
Now at SwayID, she brings that same bias for action to influencer compliance—making it seamless (not scary) for brands to scale UGC and avoid legal landmines.
Kavinda Abeyratne
Founding Frontend Engineer
Keeps the interface clean and the chaos under control.
Kavinda brings SwayID’s frontend to life with intuitive UX and airtight logic. He’s a tenacious builder who learns fast, ships faster, and keeps creators and brands moving through compliance without friction.

Miguel Caballero
Founding Backend Engineer
No fanfare. Just flawless triggers and real-time proof.
Miguel architects the backend systems that power SwayID’s automated proof, legal alerts, and compliance enforcement. He’s obsessed with durability and data integrity — building systems that catch risks before they escalate and handle sensitive creator-brand data with zero margin for error.

SwayID was founded in 2021 with a clear mission: to make paid influencer compliance legally survivable, not just for brands, but for the creators they work with. Our origin story wasn’t strategic. It was defensive. Our founder, Kaeya, spent 2 years under intense legal pressure, facing millions in potential liability simply because creators said the wrong things in the wrong way — and no one could prove otherwise.
The deeper she looked, the clearer it became: the entire UGC advertising world runs on trust without proof. No one had built a system to track, timestamp, and defensibly document what’s said in paid influencer posts — until now.
SwayID is built for the class-action era. We protect brands from FTC fines, class-action lawsuits, and brand safety fallout by automating disclosures, onboarding creators, and documenting compliance at scale. Our goal is simple: make influencer marketing a legally covered channel — not a silent liability.
We work with top DTC brands in beauty, wellness, and fashion — teams who run influencer, affiliate, and UGC campaigns at scale.
Our system helps them prove good faith, disclose legally, and hold up under pressure.
Why We Exist: The system wasn’t designed to scale — it was designed to save our life. Now we’re making it available to creators and brands everywhere.
Our values aren’t just cultural. They’re operational defenses.
Because class actions don’t wait. We move fast because our customers have to.
Because the FTC won’t always tell you what they’ll fine you for next. We reverse-engineer risk patterns to stay ahead.
Because hiding risk doesn’t protect anyone. Our job is to help brands see it — then survive it.
3 pivots. Dozens of lawsuit threats. 1 final product.
We tried to build community around trust, then learned what happens when trust is tested in court.
We ran thousands of TikTok influencer / UGC campaigns and saw firsthand how disclosure rules were ignored, misunderstood, or impossible to enforce.
We stopped guessing. We built a system designed to survive the new FTC enforcement wave — and prove it.
We don’t cherry-pick wins to make sales decks, customer testimonials, and case studies. We pressure-test our system through formal research, then publish every finding—good or bad—so you can see exactly how it holds up under fire and buy with confidence.
