Good news for LetMeIn.to, a South African startup that has created an innovative software-based access management service. The startup has announced a new $143k funding from an undisclosed impact investor.
“Large organisations require a simple and streamlined process to manage the movement of people on their premises. Instead of cumbersome paperwork or complicated app-based systems, LetMeIn.to’s visitor and access management software meet users on the apps they already use. Adhering to the strictest security and privacy standards, a ubiquitous chatbot is encrypted end-to-end ensuring minimal interference,” Jarrad Van Zuydam, co-founder of LetMeIn.to. said.
- The startup will use the funding to expand and scale up its current visitor and access management platform.

A Look At What The Startup Does
- Founded in 2020, the tech startup offers advanced access and visitor management solutions aimed at large organisations who might have multiple locations.
- Earlier this year, in the wake of the pandemic, the startup developed CoronaFighter, a chatbot and web-enabled app that assists organisations to screen and track Covid-19 symptoms among their employees. As a self-monitoring process, the CoronaFighter provided a much-needed solution to many corporations in contact-tracing, reducing the risk of spreading the virus and ensuring the safety of its workforce.
Van Zuydam sheds light on some of the challenges faced in creating the innovative platform, LetMeIn.to.
“One of the key challenges of launching compliance software is adoption. We are taking a unique approach that combines the reach of WhatsApp and other instant messaging platforms with a highly focused product strategy providing a solution that can be rolled out to tens of thousands of multinational employees in a single day. LetMeIn.to is a comprehensive, easily integrated tool enabling organisations to control access to their premises, monitor the attendance of employees and visitors, and disseminate information seamlessly throughout their company.”
