Gecko Security

We built Gecko for teams that want to build secure code quickly without wasting time on security tools that don’t deliver results, or relying on one-time human pentests that quickly become outdated. Gecko uses AI to understand how your application should work, simulates relevant attacks to find critical vulnerabilities, and then verifies these vulnerabilities by exploiting them. It also helps you understand the risk of these vulnerabilities and applies a working fix to keep your code secure.

MindFort

match 70

MindFort is building fully autonomous AI agents powered by their in-house models that can find, exploit, and patch complex vulnerabilities in web applications at massive scale. MindFort agents use the same principles as human penetration testers to understand their target and figure out the best ways to work together to exploit it. We can do fully autonomous AI web pentesting and bring offensive security to teams out numbered. While security teams were already behind with legacy tools and proces

Ellipsis

match 59

Ellipsis will help your team merge code 13% faster. Ellipsis is an AI developer tool that automatically reviews code and fixes bugs on pull requests. It uses LLM agents to catch logical errors, security issues, and can even enforce a team's style guide. The coolest part is that after Ellipsis identifies an issue, developers can tag @ellipsis-dev to have Ellipsis implement the fix. Internally, Ellipsis actually executes the code it generates, just like a human does. As a result, we allow develope

VotingWorks

match 51

VotingWorks is a non-partisan non-profit founded on the powerful idea that the operating system of our democracy should be publicly owned. Every citizen’s vote is sacred, and every citizen deserves evidence that our elections are free and fair. Forty states use voting machines that are over ten years old. Their technology is outdated, their source code proprietary and their security vulnerabilities – described in detail by the security community over many years – are left unpatched. It’s not sur
