GHENT, Belgium, May 2, 2024 — Aikido, the “no BS” security platform for developers and SMEs, has raised $17M in Series A funding led by Singular.vc, with participation from Notion Capital and Connect Ventures. The round comes just 6 months after Aikido’s $5.3M seed funding, making it the fastest capitalized startup in Belgian history.
Aikido Founders: Willem Delbare, Felix Garriau & Roeland Delrue
Founded by serial entrepreneur and CTO Willem Delbare, Aikido was created out of frustration with clunky, legacy security tools that “waste developers’ time.” The platform centralizes all necessary code and cloud security scanners in one place, making security simple for SMEs and doable for developers without industry jargon or red tape.
“Security, like compliance, used to be for the big guys, but now it’s a growing requirement for all companies,” said Delbare. “It’s critical for SMEs to win customers and grow upmarket, but the security burden falls on developers’ shoulders.”
Aikido simplifies this challenge with an all-in-one platform that brings together essential security features. It has a simple UI and a freemium self-service model, allowing developers to easily manage security and function as a security engineer..
“Aikido has an incredibly unique approach to security,” said Henri Tilloy, who led the round at Singular.vc. “It’s simple, leverages open-source, and it’s easy to set up and use, yet it ticks off the boxes of company compliance and security requirements in one go.”
Launched in April 2023, Aikido is already used by over 3,000 organizations and 6,000 developers. The company’s rapid growth includes a recent win with Visma, which chose Aikido to secure its portfolio of 175+ companies.
With 30% of its customers in the US, Aikido eyes the international market, helping developers and SMEs worldwide get security done. The new funding will be used to deepen the platform and push Aikido onto the global stage.
“Security has long been dominated by established players. We’re outsiders here,” said Delbare. “I’m building Aikido from the experience of an unsatisfied customer and a frustrated developer. Our promise is straightforward security for developers and SMEs.”
The company reveals a reference customer, Kevin Mandia endorses the technical approach, Ted Schlein joins the Board of Directors and Marie Mouchet joins the Advisory Board
PALO ALTO, Calif., May 2, 2024 — Mimic, the ransomware defense company, announced today that it has emerged from stealth and that it has secured a seed round of funding of $27 million led by Ballistic Ventures, with investment from Menlo Ventures, Team8, Wing Venture Capital and Shield Capital.
“Mimic’s SaaS platform provides enterprises with detection, deflection, and rapid recovery from ransomware attacks,” said Derek Smith, Mimic CEO. “Our technology detects ransomware much earlier and with greater accuracy than other defenses, allowing us time to deflect the attack before damage is done or data is stolen. Mimic is the last line of defense, working in concert with our customers’ other controls. Our mission is to eradicate this pernicious form of cyber extortion, which impacts parts of our society that are least able to cope, such as hospitals and schools.”
“Mimic’s new capability to detect and deflect ransomware so much earlier than traditional defenses is a huge step forward,” said Kevin Mandia, founder of Mandiant and Co-founder and Strategic Partner of Ballistic Ventures. “The Mimic technology will allow incident responders the time they need to cut off threat actor access, knowing that their client is protected.”
Ransomware has become one of the most dangerous forms of cyber-attack worldwide. One of the first high-profile attacks occurred on May 7, 2021, when Colonial Pipeline, an oil pipeline system that carries gasoline and jet fuel from Houston through the Southeastern U.S. and to the New York Harbor suffered a ransomware attack which caused the entire pipeline to be shut down, crippling fuel supplies to the Eastern U.S. The CEO of Colonial Pipeline at the time, in his testimony to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs, stated, “We were in a harrowing situation and had to make difficult choices that no company ever wants to face… Our hope is that we will all learn from what happened and, through sharing, develop even more robust tools and intelligence to address this threat moving forward.”
The CIO of Colonial at the time, who led the fight to get Colonial back on-line, Marie Mouchet, has joined the Mimic Advisory Board and said, “I am very excited by what Mimic is creating. It would have helped us and others and is a very needed breakthrough in the world of cybersecurity.”
Mimic is excited to announce a reference customer, Apex Group, which is currently leveraging the Mimic platform.
Apex Group Ltd., established in Bermuda in 2003, is a global financial services provider. With over 13,000 employees globally, Apex Group provides services into 50 jurisdictions delivering an expansive range of services to asset managers, financial institutions, private clients, and family offices. The Group has continually improved and evolved its capabilities to offer a single-source solution through establishing the broadest range of services in the industry.
“Mimic’s technology allows us to find ransomware attacks much earlier than our other defenses and with much higher precision and then deflects those attacks in ways which will help protect our business from future attacks,” said Ash Hunt, Apex Group CISO.
Mimic also announced today that Ted Schlein, General Partner at Ballistic Ventures and long-time partner at Kleiner Perkins, has joined its Board of Directors. “Ransomware is the highest priority problem for all CISOs in the Fortune 500 and Global 2000,” said Schlein. “We believe that Mimic’s unique approach to defending against these attacks will make it a required part of every company’s approach to security.”
About Mimic Mimic is the ransomware defense company. Security teams use Mimic to detect ransomware early enough to deflect it before it can damage their infrastructure or steal their data. Mimic also creates a unique rapid-recovery technology which operates in seconds and minutes vs days and weeks, without allowing threat actors to reestablish their access. Founded in 2023, Mimic is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, and is funded by Ballistic Ventures, Team8, Menlo Ventures, Wing Venture Capital, and Shield Capital. Visit us at Mimic.com.

SEATTLE, May 1, 2024 — StepSecurity, a leader in protecting CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure, announced today the closing of its $3 million seed funding round led by Runtime Ventures, with participation from Inner Loop Capital, SaaS Ventures, DeVC, and several notable industry leaders as angel investors.
Founded two years ago by cybersecurity leaders Varun Sharma and Ashish Kurmi, StepSecurity has rapidly gained traction within both the open-source community and enterprise sectors.
Over 3,000 open-source projects, including those from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Google, Microsoft, Datadog, Kubernetes, Node, and Ruby, use StepSecurity to harden their CI/CD pipelines. StepSecurity also recently detected a CI/CD supply chain attack in a Google open-source project.
StepSecurity’s enterprise tier continues to gain traction, serving customers in high-tech, crypto, and healthcare industries. “Enterprises typically have robust application and cloud security solutions. However, CI/CD, the crucial link between these two environments, remains unprotected,” said Varun Sharma, CEO of StepSecurity. “We analyzed past CI/CD security breaches and built our platform using a first-principles approach.”
Michael Sutton, General Partner & Co-Founder at Runtime Ventures, commented, “Attackers have learned not only that the CI/CD pipeline represents the weak link in application security, but also that a successful supply chain attack can deliver an exponential impact. Supply chain attacks such as SolarWinds and Codecov impacted thousands of entities given the broad usage of the vulnerable applications. Security leaders have learned the hard way that CI/CD security can no longer be ignored, and StepSecurity is at the forefront of this paradigm shift.”
The urgency of securing CI/CD environments has never been clearer due to recent high-profile security breaches. Several incidents, such as XZ Utils and SolarWinds, originated in CI/CD. As a result, the Center for Internet Security (CIS), Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), National Security Agency (NSA), and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have released guidance and benchmarks urging enterprises to harden their CI/CD environments.
StepSecurity plans to use these funds to invest in its open-source community and expand its enterprise offerings. StepSecurity already supports GitHub Actions and plans to expand its product to cover other CI/CD environments, such as GitLab CI, Harness, and Azure DevOps. The company is also actively hiring across engineering, sales, and marketing to support its growth.
