What Corgea does

Corgea is an autonomous application security platform that finds and validates vulnerabilities, then generates safe code fixes developers can apply in their existing workflow. In production customers like Zapier and Yageo, see ~20% more true positives and ~90% fewer false positives (vs their prior tooling), reducing triage and speeding remediation without adding headcount.

Finds and fixes insecure code and packages autonomously

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an autonomous application security platform that scans codebases for vulnerabilities, validates them with real tests, and then generates code fixes developers can apply without leaving their workflow. Our product cuts down false positives by around 90% compared to existing tools and surfaces 20% more real vulnerabilities, letting security teams work faster without hiring more people.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate in San Francisco, CA, and we plan to keep the company headquartered here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the center of developer and security expertise, which allows us to recruit talent and stay close to early users who demand advanced security tooling.
