Active Witness

Active Witness is a Canadian startup founded in 2018, specializing in cloud-based access control with a focus on leveraging mobile credentials and facial verification for enhanced security. The company's patented multi-factor authentication system, incorporating AI-powered facial recognition and mobile access via QR codes, sets it apart in the market. Additionally, its smartphone app, available on Android and iOS, provides administrators and end-users with a comprehensive suite of features, including visitor management, video recording, and facility access analytics. With a recent Seed Round investment from Blue Gentian Capital on 01 January 2021, Active Witness aims to disrupt the traditional access control industry by offering a more convenient and secure alternative to key cards and server-based solutions. The company's approach aligns with the increasing emphasis on sustainability and efficiency, as it reduces plastic waste from key cards and avoids the costly implementation and maintenance associated with server-based systems. Active Witness is positioned well to cater to the evolving needs of organizations seeking a reliable, cost-effective upgrade for their access control infrastructure.
