## About

Based in the United Arab Emirates, Relik provides a comprehensive authenticity platform that offers secure digital solutions for luxury goods, collectibles, and art, ensuring trustworthy certification and verification.Founded in 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Relik specializes in digital authentication for luxury items and has completed a total of 1 deal. The company's recent funding round occurred in December 2025, focusing on enhancing its services. Relik does not operate as a subsidiary nor has it undergone any significant business pivots or changes in strategy since its inception.Relik offers a robust authenticity platform designed to provide a tamper-proof digital safe for luxury goods, collectibles, and art. Their core product, the Relik Vault, facilitates the certification and verification of items through a unique Product DNA, a digital fingerprint that encapsulates the verified physical and contextual attributes of the item. The verification process begins with brands, museums, or authorized sellers conducting internal verification to confirm authenticity before submitting critical product credentials, including certificates and ownership history, to the Relik Vault. Once secured, these credentials are complemented by a Relik DNA cryptographic signature, rendering the certificate immutable. Relik's services cater to luxury brands, auction houses, collectors, and museums across key markets such as North America, Europe, and Asia, addressing concerns around counterfeits and the resale value of authenticated items.Relik's revenue model is based on transactions related to authenticity certification services, involving direct partnerships with luxury brands and auction houses. Clients submit items for verification, receiving both digital and physical certificates upon successful certification. The revenue structure also includes potential subscription services for ongoing authentication and partnerships that may lead to bulk certifications for retailers. The flagship offering, the tamper-proof authentication sealing system, helps clients enhance brand trust and protect against counterfeits, generating revenue through individual or bulk item submissions that reflect the importance of authenticity in luxury markets.In December 2025, Relik raised an undisclosed amount of Seed funding from KBW Ventures, Naatt Holding, Fort Holding, and other investors. The company plans to utilize this funding to develop its authentication technology, hire additional staff, and expand its services into new markets, specifically targeting collectibles and cultural asset sectors. This expansion is part of their strategic initiatives to broaden their market presence and enhance their product offerings.
