“We started Evolv because we saw a need to really rethink physical security, especially for crowded places and soft targets,” said Mike Ellenbogen, chief executive of Evolv Technology.“There’s a real need to screen more people, more quickly, more securely for venues that have to screen large crowds.”
Evolv’s security system eschews the standard rectangular metal detectors for a combination of millimeter wave detection — the same technology used in new airport security machines — facial recognition and artificial intelligence. That means attendees at an event can walk through the security checkpoint without having to empty their pockets.
“Evolv exists to help those security professionals do that in a way that is faster, more efficient and balances the need to detect the threats from the crowd with the visitor experience,” Ellenbogen said. “People can just walk through without having to dump their pockets out.”
