About
Keyo develops palm-based biometric identification technology that replaces wallets, keys, and IDs with a touchless wave of the hand. The platform combines palm print and palm vein recognition using high-resolution RGB cameras and near-infrared imaging, analyzing millions of unique data points from both the inside and outside of the hand. Biometric data is converted into encrypted, cancelable templates stored in the Keyo ID Vault, never as raw images, ensuring privacy and security compliance. The company offers a complete ecosystem including enterprise-ready hardware, integration APIs, and a SaaS platform for payments, access control, ticketing, time and attendance, and identification across retail, healthcare, banking, transit, and education sectors. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Keyo has raised approximately $10.4M in seed funding from investors including Obvious Ventures, Village Global, E11 Capital, and Gaingels.
