TypingDNA
TypingDNA is a behavioral biometrics company that verifies people by the unique way they type. Its AI analyzes keystroke dynamics - the rhythm, timing, and pressure of how someone hits a keyboard - to authenticate users passively, on any device, with no extra hardware. Founded in Romania in 2016 and now headquartered in New York, the company turns an everyday habit into a security layer used for two-factor authentication, continuous endpoint protection, and fraud prevention across banking, education, healthcare, and enterprise.

Raul Popa is the co-founder and CEO of TypingDNA, a behavioral biometrics company that recognizes people by the rhythm of how they type. A self-taught coder turned sociology-and-statistics graduate, he turned keystroke dynamics into a commercial authentication API used in banking, finance, and online education. He started the company alone in 2016 in Romania, brought it through Techstars and a Google-AI-backed Series A, and relocated it to New York just before the pandemic. Beyond enterprise security, he shipped TypingDNA Focus, a free app that predicts your mood from your typing.
