About
Alcatraz is an AI-powered physical access control company that replaces traditional keycards and badges with facial biometric authentication.

Founded in 2016 by Vince Gaydarzhiev, the Bulgarian-founded company now protects over 5 million employees across Fortune 500 enterprises, data centers, airports, government facilities, and stadiums, and has raised over $100M including a $50M Series B led by BlackPeak Capital.
