Ce que fait BeeSafe AI

BeeSafe AI is building the frontier model layer for social engineering defense. Cyberattacks have moved from code to conversation: attackers now use AI to carry out long-term, trust-based manipulation across SMS, voice, email, and social platforms, often inside encrypted channels where defenders cannot see, detect, or stop them. BeeSafe changes that by deploying undercover AI agents that engage attackers directly, expose hidden infrastructure, and convert live adversarial conversations into actionable intelligence. Each engagement adds to BeeSafe's proprietary dataset of real attacker behavior and trains foundational models that continually learn about counter-persuasion, deception, and manipulation in the wild. BeeSafe is starting in financial crime, where banks already value our data against Authorized Push Payment (APP) fraud and money laundering, but the opportunity is far broader. The same data and models that uncover mule networks today can protect consumers, secure enterprises, and strengthen governments against the next generation of AI-powered social engineering attacks tomorrow.

Frontier AI Defenses for Social Engineering Attacks

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

We're building an AI layer that defends against social engineering attacks by deploying undercover AI agents to engage attackers in live conversations across SMS, voice, email, and social channels. Our agents expose hidden attacker infrastructure and collect actionable intelligence to train models that learn counter-persuasion and deception tactics in the wild.

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

We don't have a fixed location. After YC, we'll decide where to base the company based on where we can recruit and grow fastest.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're remote by necessity because social engineering attacks happen globally and our team members work where they can be most effective. We plan to situate the company post-YC where it makes the most sense for growth and talent.
