Our take

Access control has always been a large and highly important market. Any company which operates on-site is interested in controlling who can access its premises, creating a very big potential market of consumers interested in access control solutions. Kisi has built itself around this demand. Its product - a cloud-based access control system - allows businesses of any size to access enterprise-grade security through a system of remotely managed, electronic door locks.

Market demand is clearly there: over 1000 businesses already use Kisi, including big names such as Skyscanner and the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA). Kisi's ability to access a wide range of sectors, from gym studios to factories, is a key reason for its success, and since its founding in 2012 it has rapidly become the industry-leader in access control solutions.

The company has continued to expand its suite of products and capabilities, ensuring that its products continue to satisfy client demands. The company has been especially focused on its expansion into physical security, changing how professional spaces function, from who uses them to how they are managed.
