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 introducing our amazing FeaturePrint solution to customers, enabling them to do things they could only imagine before.
Our Vision
Using just a photo, we provide the new standard in authentication, identification, and tracing of physical items, parts, and products with our simple to use FeaturePrint system.

BMW venture fund invests in Seattle-area startup combating counterfeits with authentication tech
Alitheon, a Seattle-area startup that uses images to create and manage unique identifiers for physical objects, raised $10 million. BMW’s venture capital arm, BMW i Ventures, co-led the Series A round with Imagine Ventures
“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.
