Reed McGinley-Stempel is the co-founder and CEO of Stytch, a company focused on retiring the password. Stytch is the first company that's built a platform for passwordless authentication, so that any application or website can embed passwordless sign-up and login flows. Stytch has had thousands of companies choose its software to eliminate the security and user experience shortcomings of password-based authentication. With Stytch, companies can offer users a more secure and delightful experience while also driving higher conversion rates at onboarding and login, creating significant economic upside for these businesses. He and his Co-founder, Julianna Lamb, are building the product they wished they had when they were working on authentication at their previous employers, Plaid and Very Good Security. Together, they build easy-to-integrate and flexible APIs so that developers can focus on building their core products while Stytch does the heavy lifting when it comes to authentication.
