Computing technical trust. At scale.
In a world where anyone can fake a demo, we exist to verify what's real.
a42z is not just a brand. It’s a bet.
A bet that truth matters in an era flooded with demos, hype, and synthetic signals.
A bet that real technology should speak for itself.
We’re building the technical trust layer for the age of AI.
Where others judge projects by pitch decks, we read the code’s heartbeat.
Where others accept screenshots, we verify models in motion.
Where others see hype, we see signal.
Because 42 is the answer to everything, and in our world, it’s the start of something bigger:
The quest for computable trust.
Where a16z changed how capital flows,
a42z changes how trust is earned.
Let AI judge AI. Your hackathon’s impartial, tireless, privacy-respecting technical evaluator.
The secure corridor for due diligence. Founders retain control. Investors gain technical clarity.
See through the pitch. Your AI-powered technical scout in the early-stage fog.
Turn signals into strategy. Deep, AI-powered technical market research for VCs.
The trust benchmark for technical projects. Cross-stack evaluations. Independent, interpretable, evolving.
To build the protocol of technical trust for the age of generative hype.
In the AI century, pitch theatre must die.
Only builders should rise.
We believe:
We are a42z.
We read between the lines of hype.
We are the signal engine of the AI century.
