Investment in trusted AI infrastructure

Velinkx builds the independent verification layer for AI in critical infrastructure. We prove what autonomous systems are actually doing, without trusting the systems themselves.

Stage: Pre-revenue deep tech, with working prototypes and prior grant-funded delivery behind us.

Research category: Industrial research.

Team today: Three Co-Founders and one technical staff, drawn from national telecoms research programmes.

Investment sought: £250,000 to £300,000 of aligned private investment.

Proposed R&D project: £357,000 to £420,000 total eligible costs, delivered from Glasgow, United Kingdom.

Competition: Innovate UK Investor Partnerships, Advanced Connectivity Technologies and Semiconductors.

AI systems are being installed across thousands of unmanned sites: network cabinets, substations, vehicles, factory floors. Today the only way to check one is to ask it, and a compromised system will always answer that everything is fine. Operators promise regulators that approved software is running, in an approved place, on untampered hardware. None of them can prove it. Velinkx makes that proof possible, independently and without trusting the equipment itself.
