Leading developer of biometric software algorithms

Precise Biometrics is a developer of biometric software algorithms used for verifying identities using new digital technologies. The company offers software for fingerprint scanners in mobile devices, smart payment cards as well as biometric identity systems. The company has a long history of research and development in segments that are just starting to disrupt our digital world, and we believe that the company’s business model can achieve scalability as volumes increase.

R&D is crucial for Precise if it is to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of biometrics. As such, a failure to innovate could hurt the competitiveness of the company’s products. Currently, the Precise’s revenues mainly stem from the mobile device segment. Meanwhile, the market for the company’s two growth segments – biometric smart cards and digital identity – remain immature and predictions about growth and penetration remain uncertain. Lastly, apart from in 2016, the company has not been able to generate positive net cash flow without share issues.
