Biometric sign in and identity verification

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building a platform that lets businesses onboard users by verifying their IDs, authenticate sign-ins biometrically, and continuously re-verify their identity to prevent fraud. Our product integrates machine learning and biometrics to handle real-time identity verification in one place for companies that need secure user access.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live primarily in Los Angeles and San Francisco. After YC, we plan to base the company in the Bay Area, near other tech startups and investors.

Explain your decision regarding location.

LA and SF give us access to talent and customers in the tech and security sectors. After YC, being in the Bay Area will make it easier to network and raise funding.
