Aikido, a small startup from Ghent, Belgium, is making waves in the developer security space with its 'no BS' platform. In a world where every startup holds valuable customer data, developers are faced with the daunting task of ensuring their platforms are secure. Aikido aims to simplify this process with its open-source, developer-focused security platform.
Unlike its competitors, Aikido puts the user first. While other security tools cater to large enterprises, Aikido is designed with developers in mind. With a freemium model and a commitment to open sourcing new products, Aikido offers flexibility, speed, and affordability.
One of Aikido's key selling points is its all-in-one security approach, flat pricing, and minimal notifications. The company prides itself on only alerting developers when there is a real issue, cutting down on noise and false positives. This approach has resonated with over 3,000 small-to-midsize customers who have already adopted Aikido's platform.
Led by European venture firm Singular, Aikido recently raised $17 million in Series A funding, bringing its total funding to $22.5 million. The company's rapid growth and unique approach to security have set it apart in an industry dominated by Israeli and U.S. incumbents.
Aikido's founders, including Willem Delbare, Roeland Delrue, and Felix Garriau, are committed to staying true to their vision and not following the traditional playbook of getting acquired by larger companies. With a focus on customer base and revenue, Aikido is poised to make a lasting impact in the developer security market.
As the network security software market continues to grow, Aikido is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for secure solutions. With security risks on the rise and the average cost of a data breach reaching record highs, Aikido's 'no BS' platform is a breath of fresh air for developers looking to protect their web applications.
In less than a year since its launch, Aikido has already made a significant impact, with over 3,000 organizations and 6,000 individual developers using its platform. With plans to expand operations and grow globally, Aikido is set to become a major player in the developer security space.
