Agent verification startup Beltic exits stealth with $7.3M seed

Beltic, the company building agent verification infrastructure, has emerged from stealth with $7.3 million in seed funding. The round was led by Norwest, with participation from Restive Ventures, Oxford Seed Fund, and Collide Capital. Collide Capital also led a $1.5 million pre-seed round that included Latitud Ventures, Positive Ventures, and other notable angels.

Beltic provides the infrastructure to verify agents and authorize them to take action, creating what it describes as a safe foundation for the agentic economy. The latest round will fuel the company's mission to give businesses the confidence to trust AI agents to act on their behalf.

The announcement comes from San Francisco, where Beltic is based. The seed round brings together a lead investor in Norwest and a set of participants that includes Collide Capital, which had already led Beltic's pre-seed. That continuity from pre-seed to seed is one of the notable details in the announcement.

For a startup emerging from stealth, the pitch is straightforward: if AI agents are going to act for businesses, those businesses need a way to verify who the agents are and authorize what they can do. Beltic says it is building that layer. The $7.3 million seed gives it capital to pursue that goal.
