About Biofire
Biofire was founded in 2014 by Kai Kloepfer in Broomfield, Colorado, after he began developing smart gun technology as a high school science project following the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. The company produces the world's first commercially available biometric smart gun — a 9mm pistol that uses fingerprint and facial recognition to ensure only authorized users can fire it.
