Introducing Verdict Machine (YC S26)! 馃殌 $3.4B in digital assets was stolen in 2025. Blockchain is becoming critical finance infra, and it's under attack. We're AI cybersecurity for financial institutions' digital assets: we learn each institution's environment, assess cyber risk, and generate tailored controls that prevent hacks. Interested in learning more? DMs are open馃憞

Today we're launching Agent2Agent on @inkbox_ai. For your agents to behave like teammates, we gave them identities with their own email, phone, and iMessage. We've noticed a growing pattern: as agents become more autonomous, humans relay information between them. It's slow and bottlenecks the work. Inkbox brokers A2A so agents can communicate and delegate directly across systems and organizations. > client agents don't maintain a callback endpoint or per-peer secret > worker agents don't need to be online when the client calls, and don't keep their own durable record Try it: inkbox.ai/console/a2a

Today we're launching @CautionHosting, a hosting platform for software you can't afford to have hacked. Deploy sensitive workloads to secure enclaves in minutes and give customers cryptographic proof that prod is running the exact release you approved, not an opaque binary you have to trust. Caution is built for payment processors, healthcare platforms, AI agents and inference, crypto infrastructure, and other sensitive systems. It removes the blind trust software runs on today: trust in the cloud host, in production admins, in CI/CD, and in the assumption that the code you reviewed is the code actually running. We spent years securing systems responsible for over $600B in assets and hit the same wall every time: teams couldn't prove what was running in production. Now that AI can find and exploit zero-days faster than anyone can patch, "trust us" isn't enough. Infrastructure has to stay secure even when it's compromised, and prove it. Verifiable compute becomes the default, like HTTPS did.

My cofounder @AnnaJuliaStorch and I grew up in manufacturing towns while spending our days chasing speed - on the mountains and the racetrack. With @DryftHQ , we bring our love for both worlds to life. That鈥檚 why we couldn鈥檛 be more excited to finally come out of stealth and announce our $5M round led by @GeneralCatalyst, with participation from @Neo, @SherylSandberg 鈥檚 Fund, @JeffAWilke, @CHughesJohnson, Dr. Markus Flik, @Qasar and many other incredible Angels.

reading these team notes at a friend's place immediately gives me fomo for not producing beautiful movies why don't we somehow sign beautiful software too?
