About Circle

A more secure tomorrow starts with people.

Circle is building the human identity layer for the AI era, ensuring the real, authorized human is present and approving every action.

Our mission

Verify the human. Build a safer, more open world.

We don't manage passwords. We eliminate them. That puts people back in control without asking them to be perfect, because a click on the wrong link has nothing to give away.

Human at the center

We verify the real, authorized person behind every action.

A counterbalance to AI

Human authorization where it matters most.

Ready for the quantum era

Security built to hold up as computing gets more powerful.

Our leadership

The people behind Circle.

Deep experience in cybersecurity, identity, and go-to-market, united by one belief: people should stay in control.
