The Story

Seven years of holding the line

2019

Founded in a bank's server room

Maya and Daniel meet rebuilding a failed SSO migration at a top-10 bank. They start Authr with one conviction: identity should be infrastructure, not a project.

2021

First Fortune-500 production tenant

A national insurer goes live with 30,000 seats. The cell-based architecture that carried them is still the foundation today.

2023

SOC 2 Type II, and a bet on passkeys

Compliance becomes a product surface. Authr ships enterprise passkey support the same quarter the standard stabilizes.

2024

1.8B authentications a month

Directory Sync 2.0 lands, FedRAMP work begins, and Authr crosses a billion monthly authentications without a missed SLA.

2025

$150M Series C

Crestline Partners leads at a $2.1B valuation. Headcount passes 400 across four offices.

2026

Identity for the non-human workforce

Authr for AI Agents launches — scoped, auditable credentials for software that acts on people's behalf. 5.2B authentications a month and climbing.

Leadership

The people on the pager

Every executive at Authr carries production context. Several still carry the actual pager.

How We Work

Values with operational teeth

01

Boring is a feature

Our customers should forget we exist. Excitement in identity infrastructure means something has gone badly wrong.

02

Evidence over assertion

Claims come with receipts — in our security posture, our SLAs, and our engineering culture.

03

The 3 a.m. standard

Every design decision is reviewed against one question: how does this behave during someone's worst night?

04

Enterprise is a craft

Procurement, compliance, migration, support. We treat the unglamorous parts as the product, because to our buyers they are.

Careers

Come do the most consequential boring work in software

Distributed systems at planetary scale, cryptography with real stakes, and customers who notice microseconds. 38 open roles across engineering, security, and field teams.

The best way to know us is a working session

No slideware. A demo call with Authr is an architecture conversation with people who've run your migration before.
