What Travizory does

Travizory Border Security SA is a Swiss-founded, private B2G technology company established in 2019 and headquartered in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, with additional offices in Nairobi (regional operations) and Letterkenny (engineering/R&D). The company builds AI-enabled digital border management systems for national governments, anchored by its modular Visitor Management Platform™ that combines a proprietary AI risk engine (five profiling engines covering biometrics, travel history, watchlists, and anomaly detection) with workflow modules for Biometric Travel Authorization, Biometric eVisa, API/PNR Targeting, Integrated Border Management, walk-through biometric corridors (FaceLane™), and a mobile validation app (tValidator).

Its customers are government ministries responsible for immigration, transport, civil aviation, and interior affairs — primarily small-to-mid-sized sovereigns (notably Seychelles, St Kitts & Nevis, and formerly Kenya). Travizory sells exclusively through direct enterprise field sales as turnkey, multi-year managed-service/SaaS contracts that governments can self-finance via traveler fees (e.g., eVisa charges), with 8-week average deployment times for the core modules.

The company is venture-backed (Atlantic Labs and BACKED VC, with a 5x valuation step-up in the most recent 2024 round), holds SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, PCI, and ICAO-aligned certifications, and currently employs 160+ people. Operational scale to date includes 100M+ biometric/biographic documents verified annually, 250+ airline and cruise-line integrations, and 2Bn+ daily watchlist checks, while the company is concurrently engaged in ICSID arbitration against Kenya and responding to a Seychelles Commission of Inquiry.
