Cybersecurity & Compliance

AI for application security, cloud security, identity and continuous compliance.

Large parts of application security, cloud security and identity are still barely covered, while mandates and threats keep growing. We back AI products in those gaps, including the compliance work regulated companies have to prove every year, and introduce founders to the CISOs who buy them.

What we look for

  • Work that gets finished

    Products that complete a task, such as triaging an alert or fixing a misconfiguration, and show their reasoning while they do it.

  • Evidence an auditor accepts

    Tools that leave a record a security team can hand to an auditor without rebuilding it by hand.
