The financing agreement is aligned with the Company’s 2023 budget to support the reduced capital requirements and current business needs through the first quarter of 2024 as announced in February. The new financing modifies the terms of the March 2022 Facility Agreement entered into with Mr. Garchik.

The Company is pleased to have completed this financing round that is intended to support its projected working capital needs through Q1 2024. The Company thanks our valued investor for his continued vote of confidence in authID’s future and for providing the resources that will allow authID to extend its innovative technology to help build a safer digital landscape for all.

The Company also announced that at Mr. Garchik’s request four new members will join non-executive Directors Michael Koehneman, Joe Trelin, and Jacqueline White on the Company’s Board of Directors. Bringing broad industry, leadership and revenue growth experience, the new Directors will together with the continuing board members, provide guidance and oversight to help the Company fully realize its potential. The new members are:

  • Rhon Daguro, Former Chief Revenue Officer of Socure Inc.
  • Ken Jisser, President of The Pipeline Group Inc.
  • Thomas Szoke, Founder and Former Officer of authID Inc.
  • Michael Thompson, Partner, Hemingway Capital

The Company will issue a separate press release detailing these new appointments.

The Company also announced that Tom Thimot will step down as CEO by early April, pending the appointment of a new CEO. The Board is currently in negotiations with a candidate for successor CEO.  The Company is retaining the services of the engineering and product organizations and finance and legal teams.
