KYB for non-traditional business models - particularly around SaaS subscriptions

Been thinking a lot about the nuances of KYB for businesses that rely heavily on subscription-based SaaS models, especially those operating internationally. The traditional document-heavy approach can feel clunky and slow when you're onboarding a client whose primary 'assets' are intellectual property and a customer base, not physical inventory or real estate. What are people seeing as effective strategies or emerging tech solutions for identity verification and due diligence in these cases? It's not just about meeting regulatory minimums, but also about creating a smooth onboarding experience that doesn't feel like a deterrent for legitimate, fast-moving tech companies. Any thoughts on balancing risk management with operational efficiency here would be appreciated.
