Each month we highlight one of the founders of Okta Ventures’ portfolio companies. You’ll get to know more about them and learn how they work with Okta. This month we’re speaking with Madhu Madhusudhanan, co-founder and CTO of OLOID. What is OLOID and what is your mission? OLOID is driving a SaaS revolution to modernize physical identity and access in the workplace. Our overall mission is to be the single sign-on (SSO) system for physical identity, as Okta is for digital identity. We’d like to be the conduit that converges the two identity spheres—digital and physical. What were you doing prior to OLOID that led you to this moment? I’ve been a techie all my life. For a class project In the eighth grade, I built a basic door alarm system, which was my introduction to the world of access control. After graduating from college with a degree in electronics.
