Founded in 2018 by Alan Jones and Sarah Bone, YEO (an acronym for Your Eyes Only) has developed the world’s first secure messaging ecosystem that authenticates the person — not just the device — with its patented Continuous Facial Recognition.

With iOS, Android, and desktop apps already available and a growing pipeline of enterprise partnerships, YEO is quietly becoming one of the most important players in secure communications — built in London and now scaling globally.
