Mihai Cotocel's AdverseMe Announces September 1 Launch and KYCK Partnership

AdverseMe, the screening software business founded by Mihai Cotocel, announced that it launched on September 1, 2026, and identified KYCK as a public technology partner. KYCK (https://www.thekyck.com/) uses AdverseMe as its screening engine, connecting the screening technology to its counterparty due diligence platform.

AdverseMe reports that three organizations have signed agreements with the business. KYCK's counterparty due diligence workflow covers onboarding, business and ownership verification, and screening. AdverseMe supplies the screening engine within that broader workflow, while the customer's team reviews the evidence and records its decisions.

The UAE-based business provides four types of screening: sanctions, politically exposed person exposure, adverse media and ownership. Its workflow brings source searches, identity review, AI-assisted assessments and reporting into a recorded process for compliance teams reviewing people and companies.

The platform offers three ways to run a screening: an individual screening in the application, a CSV batch and a REST API integration. These options support teams working directly in the application and platforms incorporating screening into their own processes. Product information is available at https://adverseme.com/.

AdverseMe uses four independent AI judges to assess retained findings and records their reasoning and disagreement. Source references, excluded matches and coverage limitations remain part of the review. A result showing no retained match does not establish that a subject is risk-free, and agreement between models does not remove the need for human review.

Cotocel brings more than 15 years of experience in enterprise IT, cybersecurity and digital transformation. His professional background is available at https://mihaicotocel.com/. AdverseMe supports evidence collection and assessment; the responsible team retains decisions about onboarding, further investigation and ongoing business relationships.
