What Veria Labs does
Veria Labs is developing AI agents that hack better than the best human hackers. Founded by members of the #1 US competitive hacking team, we've already found critical bugs in AI tools, operating systems, fintech and billion dollar crypto exchanges. Now we're scaling that expertise through AI-native security tooling that operates faster than human researchers while finding deeper, more complex vulnerabilities that traditional tools miss.

Continuous AI pentesting that finds and fixes vulnerabilities
We build AI agents that perform automated penetration testing continuously. These AI hackers find vulnerabilities in software and systems faster and more deeply than human researchers or traditional tools. Our product targets security teams at fintech companies, crypto exchanges, and AI platforms that need to detect and fix risks before attacks happen.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based there after YC.
San Francisco puts us in the heart of security and AI talent, and close to early customers in fintech and crypto that need better pentesting.
