VeryAI provides a palm-scan based biometric system that runs on standard smartphones and produces irreversible feature representations rather than storing handprints. The company claims its palm scans are about 10x more accurate than FaceID, with a single-palm false acceptance rate of 1 in 10 million and dual-palm error rates around 1 in 100 trillion. Its backend combines Solana for scalability with zero-knowledge proofs and a partnership with Light Protocol to preserve user privacy. VeryAI positions palm geometry as less biased than facial recognition and aims to certify "verifiably human" interactions for fintechs and social platforms. The leadership team includes founder and CEO Zach Meltzer and Chief Science Officer Hua Yang, who holds 50+ patents and has experience at Leap Motion and Redrock Biometrics. The company plans to use its recent seed funding to expand integrations and product offerings to dozens of financial providers and apps.

Noise is building a prediction-market-adjacent platform that lets traders buy and sell exposure to the future relevance of online topics, effectively creating a stock market for cultural trends. Launched in closed beta last May, the invite-only testnet attracted more than 1,300 users who placed bets across 14 attention markets that tracked crypto narratives using social-media data from Kaito. Unlike traditional binary prediction markets, Noise’s markets are continuous, allowing prices to shift as attention rises or falls over time. The 11-person team plans a public mainnet launch on Coinbase-incubated Layer-2 network Base in the coming months, which will open the system to “real capital” and expand coverage beyond crypto. Fresh capital will fund product development, additional data integrations, and expansion into new verticals. The company’s vision is to provide an objective, tradeable measure of cultural relevance that brands, investors, and other analysts can reference.

Belfort is a spin-off from KU Leuven’s COSIC lab that develops purpose-built hardware to make fully encrypted computation feasible at scale. Its accelerator processes data while it remains encrypted, removing exposure risks to servers, cloud operators, or insiders and opening secure use cases in blockchain, finance, healthcare, and government. The product is already listed on AWS Marketplace and positions Belfort as the first company to commercialize dedicated silicon for encrypted compute. Seed funding will allow the company to double its headcount and expand enterprise pilots out of its San Francisco and Leuven offices. The founding team combines deep cryptographic research experience with industry backgrounds at Intel, Microsoft Research, Kraken Ventures, and Google[x]. Their technology stems from years of ERC-funded research and a competitive DARPA contract, underscoring strong technical defensibility. While revenue and user numbers were not disclosed, the $6 million seed round provides the runway to advance product development and early customer deployments.
