Virtual Badge builds a digital ID and credentialing platform that lets site managers verify worker qualifications, clock people in, and control access on construction sites and at events. The company was founded in 2019 by John Simion and Georges Duplessy after working together at a West Palm Beach disaster response firm. Primary use cases highlighted in the article include construction site safety and attendance tracking, verifying referees for youth sports leagues, and displaying negative COVID tests for staff at major events. The team currently consists of the two cofounders and is raising a broader seed round; it received a $120,000 investment from Panoramic Ventures. Virtual Badge plans to use the funding to hire a sales lead and additional sales, marketing, and engineering talent (hiring planned in 2022). The company also intends to develop an integration with Procore to offer Virtual Badge as an add‑on to Procore users and accelerate growth in the construction industry.
