Kibu provides an app-based human network that cryptographically binds real human identity to verified interactions using biometric-protected devices, liveness testing, and cryptographic proof. Users build non-discoverable, confirmed Connections that enable secure communication, authorization, and group decisions where identity must be established beforehand. The platform is in use across financial services, security consulting, family offices, and government agencies. Kibu emphasizes establishing trust before communication occurs to address AI-driven impersonation, deepfakes, and account compromise. The company was founded by experts in cybersecurity policy and privacy stewardship and is backed by investors including Cubit Capital, Construct Capital, Slow Ventures, Helena, and Silver Buckshot Ventures. With the recent seed, Kibu has $14 million in total funding and plans to scale adoption and expand its infrastructure to integrate its trust fabric into other tools and workflows.
