Know your agent. A startup to verify the identity of bots
Beltic, a startup founded by a Brazilian in Silicon Valley, has just raised a round to set up a global identity and risk prevention infrastructure for the so-called agent economy – a not-too-distant future in which AI agents will carry out large-scale purchases, payments, and other transactions on their own.
Beltic, a startup founded by a Brazilian in Silicon Valley, has raised $7.3 million in seed funding to develop a global identity and risk prevention infrastructure for the "agent economy". The funding round was led by Norwest Venture Partners and included participation from Restive Ventures and Oxford Seed Fund. Beltic aims to address the challenge of current fraud prevention and authentication systems being designed for humans, not AI agents, which will soon be executing large-scale transactions on behalf of individuals and companies.
The startup's system analyzes transactions made by AI agents in three layers to verify identity, authorization, and execution.
