Authy has  secured funding from IdeaLab, Digital Garage, CrunchFund and Salesforce.com. Boroditsky comes to the company with a strong security background. He founded Passlogix, which was then acquired by Oracle.

Authy has also listed its company on AngelList—an angel network and equity funding platform, reports Forbes.
