About GLACIS
Built by Founders Who’ve Shipped AI at Scale
We’ve deployed AI to billions of devices. Guided products through FDA clearance. Now we’re building the trust infrastructure that makes enterprise AI possible.
Building the Evidence Layer for the AI Era
We would never accept critical systems without audit trails. Financial systems have them. Medical devices have mandated records. Aircraft have flight recorders. AI systems need the same level of verifiable evidence.
GLACIS provides cryptographic attestation for AI systems: proof of what your AI did, what data it saw, and what controls were active — without sensitive data leaving your environment. Like notarizing a document without the notary reading it. We’re building the trust infrastructure that makes accountable AI possible.
Leadership
We Lived the Problem
We built the "AI velocity vs. compliance" paradox at SwiftKey, Vektor Medical, and Cognoa. We’re not outsiders guessing — we built the problem.

Principles
What We Believe
Private by Design
We architect systems so we never see your data. Trust through verification, not promises.
Performance is a Feature
Compliance that slows you down isn’t compliance — it’s a tax. We optimize for both.
Prove, Don’t Promise
Attestations over assertions. Cryptographic evidence over policy documents.
