Delve is under intensified scrutiny after an anonymous critic, posting as DeepDelver, released additional materials alleging the startup fabricated evidence for customers’ compliance audits. The new post, coming a day after founder and CEO Karun Kaushik publicly denied the accusations on X, includes a video and purported Slack messages, with the accuser promising further disclosures.
The controversy directly targets Delve’s core business of automating security certifications and regulatory compliance, including frameworks such as GDPR, and raises questions about the integrity of its product and internal processes. The company, founded by 21-year-old MIT dropouts and a 2023 Y Combinator graduate, has raised $35 million to date, including a $32 million Series A led by Insight, and serves customers such as LiteLLM, which recently suffered a high-profile malware incident despite using Delve to obtain two security certifications.
