Veridise
Veridise is an Austin-based blockchain security company spun out of the UToPiA program-analysis research group at the University of Texas at Austin. It hardens Web3 by pairing expert human auditors with proprietary tools built on formal methods, fuzzing and program analysis. Veridise audits smart contracts, zero-knowledge circuits, blockchain implementations and dApps, and has completed 150+ audits for infrastructure protocols including Scroll, Linea, Succinct, Manta Network, RISC Zero and Semaphore.
Axiomatic AI
Axiomatic AI is a Cambridge, Massachusetts deep-tech company building AI that engineers can actually trust. It pairs frontier language models with formal mathematical and physics-based verification so that the reasoning behind a design decision can be checked, proven, and traced. Its first commercial focus is photonics and semiconductor engineering - fields where simulations are sophisticated but fragmented and a fabrication error is expensive. Founded in 2024 by a group of MIT and ICFO physicists and led by former White House quantum-policy lead Jake Taylor, the company raised an $18M seed in March 2026 to build what it calls the intelligence infrastructure for verified science and engineering.
Axiom
Axiom (Axiom Math) is a Palo Alto-based AI lab building a self-improving, superintelligent reasoner - starting with an AI mathematician. Its AxiomProver system invents new theorems, proves them formally in Lean, and verifies them before they reach a human, aiming to give AI the one thing language models lack: provable correctness. Founded in 2025 by mathematician Carina Hong, the company has raised $264M and claims machine-generated proofs accepted by peer-reviewed journals.
Code Metal
Code Metal is a Boston-based AI startup building a verifiable code translation platform for mission-critical industries - aerospace, defense, automotive, semiconductors and robotics. Founded in 2023 by AI researchers Peter Morales and Alex Showalter-Bucher, the company combines large language models with formal verification so engineers can write software once and ship it - safely - to any chip.
