Austin Business Journal Hails FaceFirst Among Top Innovators
“You might not recognize this company at first glance, but it can certainly recognize you. FaceFirst just relocated to Austin from Los Angeles a few months ago. The startup has created facial recognition software; it can be used to spot criminals in a crowd, yes, but the company has also touted wider potential, like helping retailers ID customers and their buying history when they walk into a shop. ... The company is led by CEO and Chairman Dan Merkle."

FaceFirst, the market leader in facial recognition software, was named by Comparably, a leading workplace culture and compensation site, as one of the top 15 companies to work for in Los Angeles. The award was derived from sentiment ratings provided by employees who anonymously rated their employers on Comparably.com between March 8, 2018, and March 8, 2019.
​
The awards for Best Places to Work by Region were determined based on a series of 50+ structured and comprehensive workplace questions in core culture categories, including: Compensation, Leadership, Professional Development, Work-Life Balance, Perks & Benefits and more.
​
The answer to each question was given a numerical score and then compared to companies of similar size across the U.S. Additional weight was given to scores at companies with more participation from their employee base. Comparably awards are based purely on participation and scores; there were no fees or costs associated with participating, nor was nomination required.
