Below are the highlights of the interview: 
What led to an inception of the company? 
A few years ago, I worked with a superb VP of sales, who had top notch interpersonal skills and a great track record at closing deals. One night after a few drinks at a local bar, I pushed him to disclose his secret sauce. Well, he said, my father was a holocaust survivor who immigrated to NYC and worked as a door to door insurance agent. He converted prospects to client by observing their faces, interacting with them based on his observations, and earning their trust and business. He told me “you can go to the best College, but understanding people is the only skill that really matters”. As for me, he said, it’s a gift I have and that’s my secret sauce. I was intrigued. I started investigating the field and found several scientific articles supporting the theory that a person’s personality is reflected in his face. Several experiments were conducted, but there didn’t seem to be a scalable technology in place. Then, I met with David Gabriel who has been doing this for years a profiler, working for the American consulate. We brought into the team Itzik Wilf, who is a guru in computer vision and machine learning and together we founded Faception.
Could you throw some light on your mission and vision statement?

It’s means we DO NOT authenticate people, we enable personalized services in anonymous way.
How does your authentication solutions differ from the other companies’ offerings?

This means the AI industry can move faster to market and production since the main obstacle of the human/AI interaction is resolved without the privacy limitations. As our solution is anonymous, objective [no discrimination due to ethnicity, demography, age, gender etc.] and NO BIG DATA nor monetization on people, it will allow the smart services and machines to better interact with people and will create massive new uses and jobs in the very new future.When smart services and it’s communication is based on the Faception concept, it’s improve any personalization service aspect, as it’s derives from personality point and not monetization paths.
