UAE-Based AI Verification Platform Relik Closes Seed Funding Round

Relik, a UAE-based AI-powered verification platform, announced the closure of its seed funding round, with participation from KBW Ventures, Naatt Holding, Fort Holding, and Ayman Sijini.

The funding will support Relik’s expansion across sports, luxury goods, and heritage collectibles, leveraging advanced technologies that bridge the physical and digital worlds, enabling individuals to verify the authenticity of their assets within seconds using a smart device.

Relik utilizes unique digital fingerprint technology that permanently links physical assets to their original counterparts through a transparent, tamper-evident system.

Relik was founded in 2023 by Walid Tarabih.
