Founder & CEO | Building Post Quantum Passwordless Authentication | Mom | Culture Transformer | Board Advisor

I am beyond excited to share that we have raised $3 million in pre-seed funding at Hawcx, led by Engineering Capital and BoldCap! When we started Hawcx, we knew this journey to eliminate #passwords and redefine #identity security is no easy feat. But we had a deep conviction that secure, seamless authentication should be accessible to every internet user. Passwords have been a security nightmare for decades, responsible for 86 percent of data breaches. And they are just as frustrating for users as they are for the companies managing them. We knew there had to be a better way. And we set out to build it. This funding helps us take the next big steps: - Building faster, better, and smarter - Growing our incredible team - Bringing passwordless to businesses everywhere To Ashmeet Sidana and Sathya Nellore Sampat - Thank you for believing in us and joining us on this journey. To every developer, customer, partner, and friend who has been with us on this journey - this would not have been possible without you. THANK YOU! We are #hiring in the Bay Area and Austin. If you are passionate about building technology that touches billions of users, we would love to hear from you. 📝 Read more on TechCrunch: https://lnkd.in/gfGj2mDK 💡 Our blog post: https://lnkd.in/g_8tR6Gi We will see you on the other side of passwords! - Riya Selva Kumaraswamy Jagmeet Singh

Congrats Riya Shanmugam. One of the things we had forecasted at RANE was a Passwordless Future. This will resonate with my former colleague, analyst Ali Plucinski
