Our Story
Alitheon was launched in 2017 by some really smart people with tremendous real-world experience combining advanced mathematics and machine vision. The goal was to tackle the real $2.3T problem of counterfeit goods, untraceable items, and poor identification of physical products.
The first chapter of our story , called Something from Nothing, was about creating the technology and proving to ourselves that it worked. With many a mistake along the way and more than a few proverbial rabbit holes, we were ready to move on to our next chapter – Going to Market. We are now providing our amazing FeaturePrint solution to customers, enabling them to do things they could only imagine before.
Our Vision for the Future
People trust that items are what they think they are by easily and rapidly identifying anything, anywhere, anytime, with just a camera.

"Like many journalists, I'm a cynic by nature. Every so often, however, a new technology comes along that I get excited about. This week I'm going to introduce you to one such innovation." Felix Salmon
“Alitheon’s technology identifies parts by their own unique features so that no serial number is needed.
The result is a new possibility for identifying parts, arguably better and more reliable than serial numbers.

“The FeaturePrint process allows the system to see an object once, and then verify it as often as needed over its lifetime.
For some applications, this might only be long enough to move a part across an assembly hall, for other cases it could be years later when it’s time for warranty service, customer support or recycling.
