What EdgeBit does

EdgeBit was acquired by FOSSA in July 2025: EdgeBit enables engineering teams to ship security updates 10x faster with confidence by automating dependency update analysis. Our platform turns weeks of manual review into minutes, helping teams find and fix security vulnerabilities while maintaining a secure, up-to-date software supply chain without compromising productivity.

Autofix your software dependencies

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

We built a platform that automates the analysis of software dependencies to find vulnerabilities and suggest security updates. Instead of weeks of manual review, teams can ship fixes in minutes without slowing down their development. The product is built for engineering teams responsible for code security and supply chain integrity.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and after YC the company would remain based there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team is and where the engineering and security community we serve is located. Staying here keeps us close to our users and talent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real EdgeBit YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from EdgeBit's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like EdgeBit would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
