Lisbon, February 9, 2023

YooniK, a company that specializes in authentication solutions, has decided to rebrand as Youverse with the goal of aligning the company mission with its brand.

The new name, Youverse, represents the company's commitment to empowering individuals with control over their own data, removing the responsibility of data management from businesses and ensuring that authentication is seamless, private, and secure for all.

The company's mission is to challenge the status quo and bring new ways to access our digital identities, eliminating the need for cards and passwords. This rebranding is a way to communicate this vision and mission and to create a stronger association between the company and its goals.

"When we founded YooniK, we understood the power of your face being unique — hence our name, YooniK — but identity is a whole universe, and it is different from person to person.” explains Pedro Torres, CEO and co-founder. "It is also both online and in-person. It is physical, it is digital, or even a metaverse. It is Your Universe.

"At Youverse we have the vision of building the only true private and secure authentication solution in which full ownership is given to the user." says Miguel Lourenço, CPO and co-founder. "Mixing that vision with an amazing team allows us to develop the best product of the market."

At the core of Youverse’s products is a top-tier algorithm that allows the user's identity to be verified with a high degree of accuracy, making it nearly impossible for someone to impersonate the user. Privacy is upheld through a decentralized structure that renders it almost impossible for cybercriminals to acquire biometric data.

In addition to its technical capabilities, Youverse is also dedicated to being transparent and impact focused. The company is committed to putting truthfulness into everything they do and being driven by the value they deliver to their customers, partners, and stakeholders.
