Seed Investment Opportunity – AI-Powered Digital Trust & Biometric Authentication Platform

[e-Security.BIO] is a Portugal-based deep-tech cybersecurity startup building the next generation of digital trust infrastructure. Our platform combines AI-powered biometric authentication, blockchain-based document notarization, and qualified electronic signatures (QES), designed to support compliance with eIDAS 2.0, GDPR, and NIS2.

The Problem

Organizations across government, financial services, and legal sectors still rely on fragmented and non-interoperable tools for document signing, identity verification, and audit trails. Many existing solutions lack cross-border legal enforceability, expose sensitive data to security and privacy risks, and struggle to meet the evolving compliance requirements of the EU digital identity framework.

Our Solution

[e-Security.BIO] delivers an end-to-end digital trust platform featuring:

• Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) aligned with eIDAS 2.0
• AI-powered biometric identity verification, including liveness detection and facial recognition
• Blockchain-anchored document notarization with immutable audit trails
• Seamless API integration for enterprise and government systems
• EUDIW (EU Digital Identity Wallet) readiness

Traction & Validation

• Ongoing pilot discussions with entities in the Portuguese public administration, including a city council.
• Regulatory and compliance engagement with relevant Portuguese authorities
• Founding team bringing 20+ years of experience across software engineering and architecture, cybersecurity, machine learning, AI, and blockchain engineering.

Market Opportunity

The global digital identity market is projected to exceed $70 billion by 2027, while the eIDAS 2.0 framework is accelerating demand for interoperable and legally compliant digital identity solutions across the European Union. This creates a significant and time-sensitive market opportunity for trusted infrastructure providers.

The Ask

We are raising €500,000 in Pre-Seed funding to:
• Complete product development and regulatory readiness
• Secure our first paying government and enterprise customers
• Expand go-to-market efforts into EU, Brazil and LATAM
• Build the core commercial and technical team

Why Now

The convergence of eIDAS 2.0, public-sector digital transformation, and the rapid rise of AI-powered fraud has created a unique market window. [e-Security.BIO] is positioned to become trusted digital infrastructure for organizations operating in high-compliance environments across Europe and beyond.
