SiliconANGLE's launch report of 23 September 2025 names Zhijie Chen as founder and chief executive, but no first-hand page confirms it (the vendor's BusinessWire release answered 403), so nobody is listed. Investors were looked for on verdent.ai and in one web search; a newsletter reports Sequoia China and Tencent, which no company statement or reputable outlet read confirms, so no investors are recorded. Rechecked on 6 November 2026: verdent.ai's about pages (English and Chinese) and blog posts name no founder or investor, and a second search found reports naming Zhijie Chen and Xiaochun Liu as co-founders only in the BusinessWire release and secondary coverage, and funding only in a newsletter and a secondary-market site, neither of which the rules allow.",
