Glide Identity, a digital security company developing SIM-based cryptographic verification systems, has raised more than $20 million in a Series A funding round led by Crosspoint Capital Partners, with participation from Amigos Venture Capital, Singtel Innov8 Ventures and Sir Ronald Cohen, according to a press release.
The funding will help the company expand its AI-ready authentication platform, which replaces one-time passwords with carrier-based verification signals that cannot be phished or intercepted. The system enables secure identity confirmation without user input, reducing fraud and checkout friction.
«Glide Identity is solving one of the most persistent and developing challenges in the AI era: authentication and verifying digital identity,» Andre Fuetsch, managing director at Crosspoint Capital and former CTO of AT&T, said in the release.
Glide collaborates with partners including T-Mobile, Verizon and Google Cloud to deliver scalable identity solutions built for artificial intelligence and autonomous digital agents. The company has raised over $25 million to date.
