Reinventing CAPTCHA.
After experiencing the limitations of traditional CAPTCHAs, Benedict Padberg and Guido Zuidhof co-founded Friendly Captcha in 2020.
Since then, Friendly Captcha has grown to become a leading player in defending digital interactions. With the industry’s best tech talent, we continuously evolve our product to stay true to our purpose: strong bot protection without locking out real people.
A safe internet, accessible for everyone.
We combine modern security technologies with a user-first approach to protect enterprises from cyberattacks while providing end users with a seamless digital experience, regardless of their device or technical setup.
Friendly Captcha plays a key role in building a safe internet that is accessible to all.
Rooted in Munich.
Built for the world.
Friendly Captcha is headquartered in the Munich area, with a distributed team across the globe. Thanks to our diverse backgrounds and locations, we can address even the most complex cybersecurity challenges.
Compliance by Design, Not by Checkbox.
Friendly Captcha is designed to meet the sophisticated compliance requirements of modern enterprises. Our bot protection solution complies with global privacy laws by eliminating common risks, such as HTTP cookies, and personal data storage.
Our fully invisible CAPTCHA technology meets strict accessibility requirements and works seamlessly with assistive technologies. In addition, we align with global IT security standards to ensure reliable operations.
Our values drive us to do our best work, and you are at the center
We want to shape a future where people come first – with technology made for you, not hard for you. Here, you are treated fairly, and good behavior is the norm.
We protect people’s security and privacy on the Internet.
Privacy is a fundamental human right. At Friendly Captcha, it’s also one of our core values. We work to serve and protect users, not advertisers or anyone else.
We ensure the Internet remains open and accessible.
Digital accessibility is about people of all abilities having equal access to web services. We empower organizations to make their services accessible to everyone.
We reduce the complicated to the simple.
Design isn’t finished until somebody is using it. To us, design is the art of making things usable. Intuitive design is how we give the user new superpowers.
We dare to go beyond the status quo.
The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. That's why we challenge the status quo for the better.
