New chapter. Same mission: private, instant identity at a global scale.
To the Keyo team, customers, partners, and investors,
I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the warm welcome I’ve received since stepping into the role of CEO at Keyo, Inc. It is an incredible honor to lead a company that stands at the forefront of palm biometric identification. I said yes to this opportunity because I believe in the vision and potential of what we can achieve together. I hold immense respect for what has been built here, and I am eager to carry that legacy forward.
New chapter. Same mission: private, instant identity at a global scale.
Surface-only biometrics won’t cut it in the AI era. Keyo’s multi-modal Palm ID goes beyond the surface, verifying who you are with sub-second speed and privacy by design. That’s the standard we’ll scale.
What won’t change
- Privacy-first architecture. We verify identity; we don’t monetize or share it.
- Security beyond the surface. Multi-modal palm matching built to resist modern spoofing.
- Speed and simplicity. Identity should feel like a wave—fast, effortless, everywhere.
What changes now
We’re tightening focus and raising the bar on execution. Here’s what's next:
- Unbreakable identity: We’re shipping the industry’s first global biometric platform built to defeat AI-driven spoofing with next-gen multi-modal sensor fusion—surface print + subdermal veins—validated by red-team testing and published metrics.
- Zero-friction payments: We’re launching certified, turnkey integrations with major POS and payment gateways so palm becomes the new standard for secure checkout—integration in days, not months.
- Future-proofing the platform: We’re accelerating next-gen hardware and on-device AI to move the industry from fraud detection to true prevention—verifying presence, not just appearance, at sub-second speed.
- Radical simplicity for partners: We’re releasing a streamlined developer experience—clean SDKs, clear docs, real sandboxes—to enable rapid, multi-site rollouts across enterprises and payment partners.
Why palm, why now.
Keyo verifies presence—not just appearance. In an AI world where surface features are easy to spoof, depth wins: we fuse palm print with subdermal vein patterns to confirm a living person in under a second—private by design, effortless to use, built for real-world scale. Payments doesn’t need more fraud detection; it needs prevention. Keyo binds every transaction to a living person, flipping the risk curve for merchants and issuers.
Execution over hype
I’ve run mission-critical platforms in regulated environments and guided a company to a successful exit. I operate on accountability and speed: shipping reliable systems, measuring what matters, and moving the needle where it counts. Together, we will embrace a culture of accountability and agility, ensuring that we move swiftly toward our goals while maintaining the integrity of our mission.
To our customers and partners: expect more velocity, more transparency, and a team obsessed with your outcomes. Push us—we’re listening.
To builders: help us define the world’s identity layer. Contact us to start building.
To candidates: if you want to work on the future of private, instant identity and payments, we’re hiring.
We’re not here to participate in biometric buzz. We’re here to set the industry standard.
Let’s get to work.
Warm regards,
Rudy Dajie
CEO, Keyo, Inc.
