Contact ValiDeck
ValiDeck is developing PCX as shared infrastructure for privacy-preserving transaction records. We’re seeking the funding, partners, research collaborators, and technical leadership needed for the Phase I prototype. Investors, payment providers, academic researchers, and prospective technical cofounders are welcome to get in touch.
Email goes directly to Alok Narula, ValiDeck’s founder. A short introduction and the question you would like to explore are enough to start.

Useful starting points
Resources brings together the Elevator Pitch, Slide Deck, Product Development Strategy, and PCX white paper. The FAQs, Technology page, and prototype article explain the proposed architecture and implementation questions. Patents distinguishes the granted foundation from pending designs, and Roadmap sets out the development sequence.
Start with the question that interests you. We can direct you to the relevant document or section.
Payment providers
We’re seeking partners to help define and test a first PCX-CTR integration. A candidate deployment would connect one payment provider with a limited group of participating merchants. The first planned use case is loyalty eligibility across those merchants.
If you operate payment infrastructure, merchant systems, point-of-sale technology, acquiring services, or a commerce platform, tell us how transaction records move through your systems and which interfaces or test environments you could help evaluate. This lets us identify record-capture requirements, account-linkage dependencies, and the work needed for a prototype connector.
The starting point is an integration assessment using controlled test data. PCX is intended to operate alongside existing payment infrastructure. Live pilots would follow the Phase I evaluation and require further funding, agreed controls, and partner commitments.
Investors
PCX has a documented architecture and granted foundational patents. The Phase I reference implementation has not yet been built. We’re seeking funding to produce a tested prototype, independent evidence, and an integration package for partner evaluation.
The Elevator Pitch, Slide Deck, and Product Development Strategy explain the proposed revenue streams, initial customer hypothesis, capital requirements, and milestones. A useful first discussion is how to test technical feasibility and whether a payment provider would pay for an initial deployment.
Academic researchers
We welcome work in privacy engineering, cryptography, distributed systems, data architecture, and privacy-preserving computation. Research questions include record provenance, device-key recovery, protected computation, and inference from analytical outputs. Tell us which assumption you would test and the method or prototype you could contribute. Research scope, expected outputs, and publication arrangements can be explored in the first discussion.
Technical cofounders and engineers
Building PCX also means building its technical team. We welcome people who can help lead work in payment systems, protocol engineering, security, distributed systems, and privacy. Tell us what you have built, the scope you could lead, and the contribution you would like to make.
Careers describes the planned roles, engagement windows, and funding-dependent hiring stage. Cofounder conversations can begin now; responsibilities, commitment, decision-making, and any ownership terms would be discussed directly with the founder.
