Trust infrastructure for the internet

Company description

Flare is building the trust infrastructure for an internet increasingly overwhelmed by unverified information. As AI systems become the primary interface to knowledge, the gap between what can be generated and what can be verified is widening. Flare addresses this by creating a structured, transparent system for knowledge validation, where claims across the web can be evaluated, sourced, and trusted.

At the core of Flare’s platform is a decentralized model where verified contributors assess the accuracy of information and build reputation through their contributions, similar to platforms like Stack Overflow and Reddit. By combining automated claim detection with human validation, Flare creates a feedback loop where machine scale meets human judgment.

Flare is building a product that helps users understand what they read online while generating high-quality, permissioned data for AI systems. Over time, the company aims to become a foundational layer for trustworthy information on the internet, powering both human decision-making and the next generation of AI applications.

Why we invested

“What stood out to us about Nicolai was his determination and extremely opinionated nature - there isn’t a topic he does not have an informed opinion about, and other than that he simply seems to not need sleep like regular people. With Victor, it’s rare to find an engineer that combines his level of technical depth with such an extreme level of EQ.” — Sara Rywe, Partner at byFounders
