iDentivisuals® – The “so what” of emotions applied to business

Swiss Growth Forum (SGF) is pleased to announce that it is initiating research coverage of iDentivisuals®, a company which combines the potential of biometric and cognitive technologies, facial recognition, artificial intelligence and deep learning with a strong human background in business, psychology and human resources fields.  A research report entitled “The Power and Value of Emotions” is being published today.

SGF research consultant Chris Wickham believes that “iDentivisuals® brings a cutting-edge technology-based solution to what is arguably the world’s largest addressable market – i.e. employment.  With a strong leadership team, best-in-class working partners and a clearly defined financial plan, the opportunity for investors looks too good to ignore.”

IDentivisuals’® CEO Christian Candela commented “I’m excited at the positive feedback we experienced during our last roadshow as it proves how relevant interpreting emotions can be at solving urgent unmet needs in the world. In particular, we have identified a number of unmet needs in the key workplace related areas of employee assessment, recruitment and training which iDentivisuals® and its proprietary know how is capable of fulfilling.“

SGF argues that iDentivisuals® appears well positioned to use its ground-breaking technology to grow its artificial intelligence and deep learning-based business significantly in the next five years.  Moreover, the company’s profit quality is enhanced by it being a seller of services rather than technology.

The forum highlights that iDentivisuals® boasts a clearly defined and well proven concept.  The company collects real time data via video images of people in workplace situations which can be interpreted using artificial intelligence and deep learning, with the individual’s consent, to make an accurate assessment of their underlying emotions.  Despite being at a relatively early stage of development, iDentivisuals® boasts a number of important strategic partnerships with globally renowned organizations, which include Mercer, Semeion and Politecnico di Torino.

iDentivisuals® boasts a strong leadership team with a complementary human behaviour, technology, business development and financial management skillset.  The company’s CEO Christian Candela is a chartered accountant while Chief Psychologist Jasna Legiša has more than 20 years’ experience in emotion recognition.  Board member Ian Wilcox boasts significant financial and operational business experience as an equity partner in a human capital firm and will build out iDentivisuals® in the USA.
iDentivisuals® seeks to raise €30m in expansion capital at a pre-money valuation of €80m to €100m.  These funds will be used to support important Business Development (61%), R&D (34%) and a small amount (5%), in SGF’s view appropriately, to fund General & Administrative expenditure.
