## About Escape Technologies

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Escape provides an AI-powered offensive security platform that automates discovery, pentesting, and remediation of vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs.
- **Entity Type**: Private (YC W23)
- **Headquarters**: New York, USA (with a significant office in Paris, France)
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Antoine Carossio (Co-founder & CTO), Tristan Kalos (Co-founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Cybersecurity (Application Security / Offensive Security)
- **Target customers**: B2B; Security teams in medium and large organizations, including Fortune 1000 companies, and engineering teams needing integrated security testing.
- **Mission / Purpose**: To help security teams who are "100x outnumbered" by automating offensive security end-to-end, replacing legacy scanners and manual processes with AI agents that work directly in engineering workflows.

## Products & Services
- **AI Pentesting**: AI agents that autonomously discover, analyze, and exploit complex, multi-step vulnerabilities, including business logic flaws. Provides proof of exploitability with screenshots and execution logs.
- **Business-Logic-Aware DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)**: Scans modern web applications (including SPAs) and APIs for vulnerabilities, providing detailed, developer-friendly remediation steps. Integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines.
- **Attack Surface Management (ASM)**: Automatically discovers, classifies, and tracks all internal and external assets (web apps, APIs, microservices) without needing agents or network traffic analysis.
- **AI-Powered Remediation**: Delivers real code suggestions tailored to the target framework (e.g., React, Django, Spring Boot) and integrates with AI-assisted IDEs like Cursor, Claude Code, and Gemini.
- **Compliance Validation**: Provides continuous validation for frameworks like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001, generating audit-ready reports with proof of testing.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Raised $18M in Series A funding (announced Mar 2026).
- **Notable Investors**: Y Combinator (W23 batch).
- **Growth Signals**: Trusted by 2,000+ security teams worldwide. Reports a 229% increase in detection compared to legacy tools. Has a 32-person team with +8.8% monthly headcount growth. Published research on discovering 2,000+ high-impact vulnerabilities in "vibe coding" platforms. 20 active job postings.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Business Logic Awareness**: Unlike legacy DAST scanners that only check for known payloads, Escape tests workflows, access controls, and multi-step processes unique to each application.
- **Agentic Attack Reasoning**: Uses a "Graph context" to find complex, multi-step attack chains that traditional tools miss.
- **Developer-Friendly Output**: Provides visual proof (screenshots, exploitation graphs) and tailored remediation code, not generic suggestions, leading to higher trust and faster fixes from engineering teams.
- **Extremely Low False Positive Rate**: Claims a ≤4% false positive rate, a critical differentiator in security tools.
- **Deep Integrations**: Natively integrates with Wiz for a unified risk view and with AI-assisted IDEs for end-to-end automated remediation.

## Strategic Focus
- **AI-First Automation**: Replacing manual penetration testing and bug bounty programs with scalable, AI-driven autonomous agents.
- **Embedding into Developer Workflows**: Moving security left by integrating directly into CI/CD, code repositories, and developer IDEs to make remediation seamless.
- **Expanding Coverage**: Continuously adding support for new frameworks, compliance standards, and attack vectors (e.g., front-end & SPA testing in beta).
- **Commercial Growth**: Scaling the sales and customer success teams (active hiring for Account Executives, Sales Engineers, and Customer Success roles) to capture a larger share of the enterprise market.

## Why Work Here
- **High-Growth Startup**: Part of Y Combinator (W23), recently raised an $18M Series A, and is growing its team rapidly (+8.8% monthly).
- **Cutting-Edge Tech**: Work at the intersection of cybersecurity and generative AI, building autonomous agents that solve real, complex problems.
- **Hybrid Work Model**: Roles are a mix of remote and in-office, with key offices in New York City and Paris.
- **Engineering-Centric Culture**: The largest department is technical (19% of team). The platform is built by engineers for engineers, with a focus on solving complex business problems with creative technology.
- **Strong Product Traction**: Over 2,000 security teams as customers provides a strong foundation and real-world impact.
