Its platform uses a simple four-number voice challenge to verify users. The company aims to provide security similar to biometric authentication while keeping the process as simple as SMS-based multi-factor authentication.

Helix offers three main solutions: Bot Management, Biometric Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Age Assurance. Its technology operates entirely on the user's device, without storing biometric information or personally identifiable information on its servers.

Businesses can integrate the platform through a software development kit (SDK) or a single line of code in Claude Code or OpenAI Codex deployments.

The technology is designed for industries such as ticketing, dating, gaming, gambling and financial technology, where companies need to verify users and prevent fraud.

Why the Funding Matters

Helix will use the funding to introduce its patented verification solution and expand its market presence.

The company also plans to continue developing its voice-enabled verification infrastructure as online platforms face increasing challenges from bots, AI agents and digital fraud.

Its technology aims to offer businesses a verification option that combines stronger identity checks with a simple user experience.

Who founded Helix?

Helix was founded in 2025 by Alex Oberg, Anna Dorofiyenko and Mike Hall.

The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Its founding team includes engineers with experience at Ticketmaster, Tinder and Zillow.

"We built Helix to restore trust in every digital interaction. Right now, consumers are scared of having their personal information stolen online, while platforms fight a losing battle against AI to prove whether an account is a real adult or a synthetic agent," said Alex Oberg, CEO and co-founder of Helix. "The traditional approach has been to collect reams of sensitive data, ranging from uploaded driver's licenses to video selfies, which is both cumbersome for customers and puts their privacy at risk.

Market and Business Growth

Helix is currently testing its technology with early partners. One of them is Zeel, an in-home health and wellness platform that is using the solution as an additional layer in its verification process.

The company is targeting several industries, including ticketing, dating, gaming, gambling and fintech. Its platform brings bot management, biometric authentication and age verification together through a single integration.

What Happens Next?

Helix plans to introduce its patented verification technology to more businesses and expand its presence across different industries.

The company will also continue developing its on-device voice verification infrastructure to help online platforms verify users while keeping biometric and personal data on their devices.
