What Repacket does
90% of security breaches are caused by a simple employee mistake. Your employee clicks a bad link, and gives up their password. They download ransomware from an email and run it. They leak your intellectual property and sensitive customer data to ChatGPT. Repacket allows your employees to enjoy the internet without risk - instantly blocking threats like phishing and sensitive data leaks. This gives your employees the ability to make that mistake without impacting your company. Repacket is built for smaller companies, who may not have dedicated IT or security people to run the show. We install in 60 seconds and give your employee instant protection where they need it most. Founded by cybersecurity leaders from SpaceX, AWS, and Google - we're building the easy button for cybersecurity.

Company
Repacket
Employee security done for you.
We make Repacket, a software product that protects employees from security threats like phishing and data leaks by blocking risky actions immediately. It installs in under a minute and works for smaller businesses that lack dedicated security teams, cutting off breaches caused by everyday employee mistakes.
We live in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
We picked Vancouver because our founders live here and we want to build close to the team. Being outside of Silicon Valley, we believe YC will help us connect to the broader startup ecosystem while we keep our base where the team is comfortable and productive.
