COMPANY BACKGROUND
Authentic Vision (AV) offers a mobile authentication solution used by customers worldwide for brand protection and consumer engagement. Headquartered in Salzburg, Austria, Authentic Vision is a rapidly growing company with a global team and due to increasing customer engagement is expanding the team in Europe.
The solution is based on security tags that provide any product with a unique Holographic FingerprintTM. The tags can be authenticated by consumers with use of a smartphone app. A business intelligence portal provides channel & consumer data intelligence based on the scans. Authentic Vision holds several patents and is cooperating closely with a global network of partners to fight counterfeiting.
AV has been successful in signing agreements with US based customers like HDMI (4k and Ultra label licensing program) and Commscope (Electronics) and international customers such as Danfoss (industrial products), Elsewedy (Industrial wiring) and Vulli (Sophie la Girafe toys) and several partners like Authentix and Eurostampa. The company is poised for significant growth and offers a flexible and rewarding environment which recognizes talent and commitment.
STAGE AND PRODUCT OF THE COMPANY
Authentic Vision was founded in early 2013 and the initial years were spent on evolving the core idea into IP, product ideation and product development. In the middle of 2015, customers were adopting the technology. We have been in market for 7 years and like most start-ups, went very broad across many industry verticals to determine and understand product/market fit. To date, Authentic Vision has ~30 customers.
We offer a smartphone-based product authentication solution, which allows anyone to verify the authenticity of a product instantly and without special equipment or knowledge. In other use-cases, users may identify themselves or unlock digital values based on the proof that they possess a physical security label.
Our physical security label features a unique, irreproducible holographic fingerprint. It can be automatically verified with a smartphone application, which uses the camera only. With each verification, users help to generate valuable data points, which are used to fight counterfeiting and fraud on a global scale.
