Cedar Hill Capital led $1.5 M funding secured by fraud intelligence startup Sign3

A $1.5 million funding round for Gurugram-based fraud intelligence and risk management startup Sign3 was spearheaded by early-stage venture capital firm Cedar Hill Capital. The investment is the fund’s second investment in AI-led enterprise technology and its third overall.

Along with support from angel investors like Rajesh Sawhney of GSF, Dinesh Agarwal of IndiaMart, Anup Agarwal of Kiwi, and Vinay Bagri of Niyo, the round also featured participation from current investor Smile Group.

Sign3 was established in 2022 and develops an AI-native customer intelligence platform with an emphasis on financial decision-making and real-time fraud prevention. Its proprietary architecture generates risk insights for financial institutions and marketplaces using alternative data signals, behavioral biometrics, and device intelligence.

According to the startup, its platform is used by over 20 banks, fintech companies, and marketplaces to identify high-risk non-performing assets (NPA) users, find fraud patterns, and identify money mule accounts.

The company intends to scale its engineering and analytics teams, improve AI models, strengthen its product, and increase go-to-market efforts with the new funding.
