Blink Identity

Blink Identity utilizes advanced facial recognition technology to identify people at a full walking speed, handling over 60 people per minute in any lighting conditions, for improved guest experiences and secure access control at live events. The company's slogan "Facial recognition at walking speed - for concerts, sporting events, and more. Privacy first, always" reflects its commitment to prioritizing privacy. Blink Identity is revolutionary in its unique experience at large-scale/in-motion identity and its focus on usability and privacy, allowing it to lead adoption in the live event sector as well as additional new markets. Currently, commercial biometrics are almost nonexistent due to high-friction, difficult to use, inaccurate systems that are vague about privacy/data protections. The founding team of Blink Identity, with a decade of experience in building and deploying large-scale biometric identification systems in the Middle East for the Department of Defense, is now bringing their expertise to the commercial market to provide security, access control, and VIP customer experiences. The company was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in the United States. In July 2018, Blink Identity secured a $1.50M Seed Round investment from Techstars, Avex, Sinai Capital Partners, and Live Nation Entertainment. This investment will likely accelerate the company's growth and technological development in the field of facial recognition technology and biometric identification systems. Blink Identity is well-positioned to disrupt the live event industry and potentially expand into new markets, providing innovative and secure solutions for event access control.
