Deel and Check Point alumni back Verdict Machine's crypto security pre-seed

Verdict Machine has secured pre-seed backing from alumni of Deel and Check Point, according to Dealroom. The investment places the company among early-stage startups seeking to address security needs in the crypto and Web3 sector. Financial terms, investor identities and the structure of the round were not disclosed in the available report.

Crypto security has become a central concern for businesses, developers and users as digital-asset applications handle wallets, smart contracts, private keys and on-chain transactions. Security-focused companies can operate across areas such as threat detection, infrastructure protection, transaction monitoring and vulnerability management, although Dealroom’s report did not specify Verdict Machine’s product or technical approach.

The involvement of former employees from Deel and Check Point brings experience from two companies associated with business software and cybersecurity, respectively. Pre-seed financing is generally used by young companies to develop an initial product, build a team and test market demand before larger fundraising rounds. Dealroom originally reported the investment.
