"Then Bunsen started thinking about the fact that people would perhaps like to unlock their doors with their iPhone. "I eventually met with some folks at Apple and they decided to make a bet that I could help further their goals to enable every company to bring the power of Apple Wallet to their door," Bunsen told TechCrunch."
""It works when your iPhone is locked, syncs automatically to your watch, and, in the case of iPhone, works even if your phone is dead," Bunsen said. The company officially launched in April, and on Tuesday, announced a $4.4 million seed round led by Harlem Capital."
""AccessGrid replaces that with an API that issues uncloneable credentials using encrypted payloads that can be instantly revoked via the cloud," Bunsen said. "We think it's time to bring physical security systems up to 2025 standards." Cybersecurity is a big concern for a product like this, but Bunsen says the company uses "military-grade" encryption as well as dual-encryption. "We use multi-factor authentication for all server access, and other standard cybersecurity practices," he continued."
Auston Bunsen left QuickNode and founded AccessGrid to let companies manage digital key fobs directly within Apple and Google wallet platforms. AccessGrid enables iPhones to unlock doors while locked, syncs to Apple Watch, and can operate even with a dead iPhone battery. The platform launched in April and secured a $4.4 million seed round led by Harlem Capital. AccessGrid replaces outdated on-premises access control and unencrypted ID cards with cloud-managed, uncloneable credentials and encrypted payloads that can be instantly revoked. The product employs dual "military-grade" encryption and multi-factor authentication for server access.
