“Can a technology-first key duplication and locksmith platform displace the fragmented, offline locksmith industry by combining AI-powered kiosks with on-demand service dispatch?”
Founded in 2012 as a mobile-first key copying app, KeyMe quickly pivoted to hardware with automated kiosks placed inside major retailers such as 7-Eleven. The company then expanded beyond key duplication into full locksmith services, competing with traditional locksmiths on 24/7 emergency response. The embedded finance layer is minimal — payments are processed via Stripe and Worldnet at kiosks and online — reflecting a services business rather than a platform monetization model.
Keyme processes payments through Stripe and Worldnet.
Keyme was founded by Greg Marsh and is founded in 2012, headquartered in New York, New York, U.S..
Keyme has raised $45M+ (as of Series C 2016) in total (latest round: Series F).
