Company
Why ValarIQ exists.
Independent control plane for autonomous action
Organisations are deploying autonomous systems with consequential permissions while control environments still assume a human sits behind every sensitive action. ValarIQ is the independent control plane for that gap, starting with financially sensitive actions and the CFO stack.
A Keston Ventures product, independent of Keston AI Pulse. Observe. Govern. Verify. Control. Prove.
Operating questions
Five questions that decide whether autonomy is safe to deploy.
01
What agents do we have?
02
What can they do?
03
Which controls apply?
04
Are they working?
05
Can we prove it?
ValarIQ answers all five before execution.
Founder
Ryan Dercksen, founder. Background spanning technology governance, cyber risk, regulated environments, operational resilience, and executive accountability for systems that sit near money and customer state.
ValarIQ is founder-led by design at this stage. Design partners get direct access, not a ticket queue.
Thesis
Humans have identity + role + authority + approval. Applications have service identity + IAM + API permissions. Autonomous financial agents need identity + delegated authority + runtime policy + evidence. That control plane is ValarIQ.
Our principle
Autonomous systems should never have more financial authority than they need.
Put policy in the loop. Not people in every loop.
