​About Very

​Very helps companies tell which users are human and which are bots. It uses a unique palm biometric technology to stop bad actors and fraud at the source.

​Malicious bots are taking over the internet. 80% of all breaches are caused by stolen credentials. Traditional verification models like CAPTCHA are now solved by AI faster than humans. OTPs can be phished or intercepted. KPMG says that $12.5 billion was lost to identity theft in 2024.

​But Very is fixing it. Very authenticates users and their trusted agents at the point of registration with any smartphone — and reverifies during moments of sensitive action, like approving transactions. No extra hardware. One smooth experience.
