NexKey

NexKey manufactures integrated access control systems that enable keyless building entry using smartphones and Apple Watch. The company develops electromechanical locks that can be retrofitted to existing door hardware, controlled through a companion mobile app and cloud-based management portal. NexKey allows businesses to instantly grant and revoke access from anywhere, receive event notifications, and gain intelligent insights on building usage. The system supports integrations with existing business tools and serves commercial offices, coworking spaces, gyms and fitness studios, places of worship, beauty and wellness establishments, real estate offices, retail stores, golf clubs, and event spaces. NexKey offers a dealer program for installation partners and eliminates the need for physical keys, key cards, or fobs. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Emeryville, California, NexKey has raised approximately $10.8 million in Series B funding from investors including Upfront Ventures, K9 Ventures, and Stanley Ventures.
