Proxy designs and builds privacy-first, human-led identity technologies. Proxy provides a smartphone-enabled digital identity that enables the user to authenticate and interact with all devices. Products include Proxy ID, Proxy Health, and Proxy Access in addition to a suite of next generation hardware that enable credentialed access to be secure, private, and contactless.

Proxy is on a mission to empower every person on the planet with a unique identity signal they own and control. The signal, emitted from a smartphone, allows people to securely authenticate to any device or service, similar to a universal single-sign-on for the physical world. Today, large enterprises like Vornado, Cloudflare and the Empire State Realty Trust enable their employees, contractors, visitors, and tenants to use their Proxy for frictionless access through secured doors, elevators, and turnstiles, and to create personalized experiences throughout the workplace. With Proxy, users own their identity and have complete control over their privacy and personal data.

Proxy has been named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2020, Forbes' The Next Billion Dollar Start-up, and CNBC's Upstart 100 list in 2019.

Denis Mars is the CEO of Proxy, which he co-founded with CTO Simon Ratner. Mars and Ratner believe that technology should empower humans, rather than make humans beholden to it. They believe that technology should be used to make our everyday experiences in the physical world frictionless.

The company was founded in 2016 and is based in San Francisco, California.
