Dheeraj Yadav
Dheeraj Yadav is a cybersecurity practitioner and the founder of OSINTverse. He builds a prepaid OSINT desk — SearchIn, GraphIn, and the OSINTOne API — for investigators, journalists, law enforcement analysts, and security teams who need commercial lookups without buying another seat.
Who I am
I am a self-taught ethical hacker and cybersecurity practitioner. My work sits in bug hunting, malware analysis, and digital forensics — the same craft investigators use when a lead is only an email, a username, or a domain.
I write in public, teach in public, and ship in public. Before OSINTverse as a product company, I grew the Hub newsletter to 9,000+ readers, ran conferences that brought about 5,000 people together (OSINTCon, now OSINT Collective), published blogs and a YouTube channel, and ran an earlier SaaS that served 2,000+ users.
That trail is not decoration. It is how I learned what investigators actually need when the vendor stack gets expensive, fragmented, and slow to start.
What I build
I founded OSINTverse to put commercial OSINT behind one prepaid wallet. SearchIn is the browser desk — 16 live providers, cases you can reopen, annotate, and share. GraphIn is the graph canvas on that same balance. The OSINTOne API is the same providers for scripts. otinstaller is the free Linux tool installer I ship beside the paid desk.
I still write the product, the refund rules, and the reply when something breaks. If you book a 15-minute onboarding call, it is with me. If you email hi@osintverse.com, it lands with me.

Why I built it
I kept watching investigators pay for seats they barely used, juggle five vendor logins for one case, and lose the thread between a lookup and the graph they still needed to draw.
The community already existed — newsletter readers, conference rooms, people who lived in OSINT every day. The tooling did not match how they work: start small, pay for the query you need, keep the case, leave when the case is done.
So I built a desk that starts at a $10 top-up, refunds failed searches automatically, and does not charge a chair tax for a single lookup. That is the problem I am solving. That is still the problem I answer mail about.
How I work with you
OSINTverse is founder-led on purpose. There is no published customer-success roster between you and the person who ships SearchIn.
Support aims for a human reply within 24 hours. Urgent provider failures on a charged search do not wait on that reply — the wallet refunds itself. New accounts can book a short founder walkthrough if they want one.
I would rather fix the product than hide behind a ticket queue. Write when something is unclear. Book the call when you want the map drawn live.
Who I work with
- SOC and detection engineers who need a credential or indicator enriched without another portal.
- Incident responders pivoting from a compromised email, username, or IP while the case stays open.
- Journalists and newsroom researchers verifying subjects and domains without an enterprise OSINT seat budget.
- Law enforcement and cybercrime analysts who need commercial lookups that bill per query, not per chair.
- Corporate risk, fraud, and brand-protection teams running due diligence on a shared wallet they can stop anytime.
- Private investigators and skip-trace specialists buying the lookup they need today — not a licence they outgrow tomorrow.
