YEO Messaging

Idea

Introduction

In a digital world, three things are imperative: privacy, security, control. YEO connects business with people via an ultra-secure private messaging app that provides all three.

Focused on regulated industry needs for a messaging platform that addresses user authentication and confidentiality and meets privacy law requirements to provide a trusted business to consumer channel.

Our patented continuous facial recognition requires users' ID as an authentication key to display content, making it impossible for someone else to read your messages. Content cannot be screenshot, copied, saved or forwarded unless allowed. Our Geofencing and Burn After Reading features provide sender control even after content is sent. YEO guarantees delivery to the person rather than just the device.

Healthcare, insurance and other regulated markets need a compliant, innovative alternative to consumer messaging apps. YEO (Your Eye Only) is the uncompromising solution.

Substantial accomplishments to date

YEO was selected as one of just eight companies worldwide for the highly competitive and revered CyLon London’s Cohort 10 accelerator in the autumn of 2019, and have since been recognised as the provider of a business alternative to platforms like WhatsApp.

We are developing YEO to allow businesses to meet todays complex regulatory and data privacy environment. With a clear emphasis on API design and open frameworks YEO will be able to easily integrate into new and legacy architectures allowing businesses of all sizes to meet their GDPR, CCPA, MiFID II and industry specific regulations. The Company has filed patents in the US (Granted & Issued March 2020), UK, Europe and China. And are currently focussing our product launch on secure communication solutions with existing and potential partners, including; a worldwide insurance company, a European medical society, a border control & customs solution, and UK government security. Each have a clear demand for our game changing platform, which will lead to revenue through engineering and future license fees.

Our highly skilled, multi-disciplined team is headed by our founder Alan Jones, who has three previous exits including sales to NASDAQ and JSE companies and has taken ideas from conception to World market leaders. The team have multi faceted experience including enterprise and National Security level integration through COO Alan Wilson's work in Defence, JP Morgan and Barclays Capital and extensive brand and product marketing experience with co-founder Sarah Norford-Jones.

By adding critical engineering talent to develop new features such as payments and document signatures, YEO will further commercialise it's intellectual property, while focusing business development on expanding the relationship with cornerstone partnerships to expand into select corporate markets. We have started the journey with a partnership in insurance and healthcare that allow us to perfect the product design to true market requirement building the foundation for growth. We will leverage these cornerstone partnerships to roll out YEO as "the" professional private and confidential communication platform of choice.
