AI-native Red Teaming and Offensive Security
We're building the first AI-native offensive red team platform. Our product uses AI agents running alongside experienced human operators to find vulnerabilities that traditional scanners miss, focusing initially on the $3B pentesting market. The platform launches swarms of AI agents to simulate attacks and break through complex cyber defenses for enterprise customers.
We live in Boston, MA, and the company will continue to be based here after YC.
Boston is where we both live and has the right mix of security talent and tech resources. We don't need to relocate because the work and customers are remote and distributed.
