Secured funding
Switzerland-based online authentication company KeyLemon has raised a USD1.5m Series A round of funding. The facial-recognition startup, which was founded in 2008, is being backed by Debiopharm Investmentsand Swisscom Ventures.
The company’s laptop login tool has been around for years, but the company now wants to launch a combined face and voice authentification for PCs. The startup struck a deal with Japanese electronic giant, Fujitsu, which used KeyLemon’s authentication tech in its ESPRIMO X line of computers last year.
