VerifyMe

What VerifyMe does

VerifyMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRME) is a small-cap public company headquartered in Lake Mary, Florida, with a stated Rochester, New York principal office, that operates two business segments. The first is an Authentication segment built around VerifyInk™, a registered forensic-marker trademark applied to consumer goods as an anti-counterfeiting layer; customer use cases center on brand protection in the food and healthcare verticals. The second is a Precision Logistics segment operated through wholly-owned subsidiary PeriShip Global LLC, which provides predictive analytics, weather forecasting, daily alerts, transit-hub forecasts, and zip-code blocking recommendations to parcel shippers of time- and temperature-sensitive perishable goods.

The core technology stack is intentionally narrow: VerifyInk™ is a physical/invisible marker read by field or laboratory inspection, not a software platform, while PeriShip's IP is the operational know-how, data set, and parcel/carrier integrations supporting its forecast products. No APIs, SDKs, software integrations, or AI/ML claims are documented in the input. The product surface is delivered primarily through direct enterprise engagement rather than through self-service or platform channels.

Revenue is generated on a subscription/recurring basis across both segments, though pricing is not publicly disclosed and appears quote-based. Recent operating performance has deteriorated sharply: full-year 2025 revenue was $16.4M but Q4 2025 fell 69% YoY to $2.4M, and Q1 2026 fell 60% YoY to $1.8M, following the September 2025 termination of a prior carrier partner relationship that eliminated ProActive services revenue. In February 2026 the company entered a definitive merger agreement with Open World Ltd., a Cayman Islands blockchain/RWA tokenization platform, under which Open World holders will own ~90% of the post-merger Nasdaq-listed entity — a transaction that would effectively pivot the company away from authentication and perishable logistics into regulated digital-asset infrastructure and enterprise RWA tokenization.
