Blink Identity

Blink Identity is an Austin, Texas company building a privacy-first facial-recognition identity platform for live entertainment venues, stadiums, and public spaces. Its "identify-in-motion" machine-vision system lets patrons enroll with a smartphone photo, then walk through touchless entry, pay-with-your-face concessions, and automatic loyalty recognition without stopping to scan a ticket. Facial images are converted into encrypted templates rather than stored as photos, and the company is a Techstars Music alumnus that has partnered with Live Nation / Ticketmaster on facial-recognition ticketing. This profile was surfaced as a Techstars portfolio lead and enriched from the company's public website; Blink Identity does not currently publish a developer-facing API, SDK, or documentation surface.

Blink Identity is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Identity, Biometrics, Facial Recognition, and Authentication.

Blink Identity’s developer surface includes engineering blog and 4 more developer resources.
