Company
Infisical
Unified platform for secrets and access management
We built Infisical to be an open-source platform that manages secrets, certificates, configs, and privileged access across teams and infrastructure. It safely stores secrets and automatically injects them into development workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud environments. Our product adds versioning, point-in-time recovery, audit logging, and automatic secret rotation to improve security and developer productivity.
We live in San Francisco, CA where the company is also based and will remain based after YC.
San Francisco is the hub for security and developer tools, and where we can best recruit top talent and interact closely with early customers and partners in B2B security.
