The announcement follows the closure of QEDIT’s Series A round, with USD $10 million raised led by MizMaa Ventures, with participation from Ant Financial, RGAX, Meron Capital, Collider Ventures, Jovono, and Target Global. With this funding, QEDIT continues to improve upon its highly-secure privacy protocol and will expand its sales and partnerships team.

QEDIT helps banks have confidentiality when transferring assets on decentralized networks, and helps companies set up supply chain management systems with their whole ecosystem, while preserving confidentiality. QEDIT financial partners use QEDIT’s technology to calculate an accurate credit scoring based on private data, without accessing the private data.

QEDIT is expanding the reach of its products by working with leading enterprises within cloud computing, fintech, and insurance. VMware is a global leader in cloud infrastructure, harnessing the power of disruptive technologies like edge computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and machine learning. Ant Financial offers inclusive global financial services with Alipay being the world’s leading payment and lifestyle platform. RGAX, the transformation unit of global reinsurer Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (RGA), focuses primarily on life- and health-related insurance solutions to expand the footprint of the industry and accelerate the development of new solutions and services.

“VMware’s work with QEDIT represents an exciting moment for VMware Blockchain, our enterprise blockchain platform.

QEDIT provides a robust layer of security for enterprises who hold a large amount of sensitive private data.”
