As AI begins to generate, test, and deploy code autonomously, legacy security approaches break down. Konvu’s AI agents reason like security engineers: automatically triaging noise, verifying exploitability with evidence, and helping teams focus on what truly matters. Our agents plug directly into existing scanners and workflows, no rip-and-replace, no new dashboards. We deliver evidence-backed decisions where teams already work, cutting false positives and surfacing exploitable issues with confidence. Founded by early members of Sqreen (YC W18, acquired by Datadog), we know what it takes to turn deep technical insight into tools developers and security teams actually use. We’ve raised $5M in Seed funding and are backed by top European and US VCs, as well as leaders from companies like Datadog, GitHub, Docker, Cloudflare, Sumo Logic, and Vanta. ## ABOUT KONVU At Konvu, we’re on a mission to make security invisible. As we move towards a future dominated by code automatically generated, tested, and deployed by AIs, we need a new paradigm for application security. We need vulnerabilities to be automatically detected, prioritized, and remediated. Behind Konvu are founders with deep roots in the security industry. As early employees at Sqreen, a notable security startup acquired by Datadog, we have firsthand experience in driving security solutions from concept to global impact. We have secured $5M in Seed funding and are backed by top European and US venture capital firms, along with executives and former executives from companies such as Datadog, GitHub, Docker, Cloudflare, Sumo Logic, and Vanta.

This is why we are committed to hiring people from all walks of life. ## OUR REMOTE PHILOSOPHY We are an early stage company and think that we’ll build the best company we can, at the fastest pace we can, whilst also having a lot of fun by physically working together in-office. Naturally, on a case by case basis (e.g. leaving early for a holiday, staying home for a builder) we’re very reasonable and flexible! ## 💎 WHY WORK AT KONVU We’re building AI agents that redefine how security and engineering teams work. We’re assembling a world-class team of builders who want to push what’s possible in security and AI. Here is what it's like to be working here - Startup principles in action: we’re shaped by YC principles https://188b3b78.konvu-website.pages.dev/blog/yc-culture, which means fast iteration, ownership from day one, and solving problems that matter. Whether you’re shipping features or closing customers, you’ll actually see your impact every week. - Globally minded from day one: Konvu was built from both sides of the Atlantic, combining European engineering excellence with American ambition. Our goal is simple: build a product loved by security and engineering teams, wherever they are. - A culture of sharing and learning: People here don’t just build or sell, they also teach and grow. From technical deep dives and sales playbook reviews to speaking at events like our Konvupéro meetups https://konvu.com/blog/konvupero-agent-framework or industry events, you’ll have space to grow and contribute beyond your core role. - Hard, meaningful problems: You’ll work on AI agents that reason about exploitability and risk and run reliably inside complex enterprise environments, and help customers turn that into real-world outcomes. It’s the kind of work that pushes your limits and makes you proud of what you’re building. - Strong upside: We offer a competitive salary, meaningful equity, and comprehensive benefits so you can grow with the company you’re helping build. ## 💜 OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY At Konvu, we deeply value diversity and are dedicated to fostering an environment where everyone feels supported and can thrive. To build a product that’s loved by everyone, we need a team with all kinds of different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. This is why we are committed to hiring people from all walks of life. ## About Konvu ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Konvu builds AI agents that automatically triage, prove, and fix application and cloud vulnerabilities, helping security and engineering teams focus on real risks instead of noise. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage) - **Headquarters**: New York City, USA (with an additional office in Paris, France; legal incorporation in Newark, Delaware) - **Founded**: Mid-2024 - **Founders**: Lucas Masson (CEO), Benoît Larroque (CTO), Paul Bleicher (CPO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Cybersecurity – AI-powered vulnerability management - **Target customers**: B2B, primarily enterprise security teams and engineering organizations - **Mission statement**: “Make security feel invisible. Not by hiding it, but by making it intelligent, contextual, and effortless for engineers.” ## Products & Services Konvu offers a suite of AI agents, each with a defined role and success metrics, integrated directly into the customer’s existing toolchain: - **Cassandra (Vulnerability Researcher)**: Researches every CVE and encodes its applicability conditions to power the other agents. - **Argus (Application Security Engineer)**: Reads code and dependencies to confirm which SAST and SCA findings are actually exploitable; dismisses false positives with reasoning. - **Nyx (Cloud Security Engineer)**: Triages cloud security findings against actual workloads, runtime, and configuration. - **Patcheus (Remediation Engineer)**: Ships dependency upgrades and security fixes as pull requests, operators in Slack. - **Hermes (Pentester)**: Reproduces vulnerability reports end-to-end for triaging external reports or confirming fixes. - **Aegis (Mitigation Engineer)**: Writes and deploys WAF rules to block exploitable vulnerabilities in minutes, closing the exploit window. All agents provide reproducible evidence and can operate with gradual autonomy. The platform is available as a cloud service or self-hosted, with SOC 2 Type II certification and privacy-by-design guarantees (code is never stored or used for training). ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric**: Raised $5 M in Seed funding (July 2024) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by top European and US venture firms. Individual angel investors include Christina Cacioppo (Vanta CEO), Pierre Betouin (former Sqreen CEO / Datadog SVP), Harry Marr (former Dependabot CTO / GitHub SVP), Solomon Hykes (Docker founder), Christian Beedgen (Sumo Logic co-founder), Peter Silberman (former Expel CTO), and Charles Zedlewski (lead investor). - **Growth Signals**: - Claims 93% noise reduction and 3x faster MTTR on real issues (based on customer use case with a Fortune 500 retailer). - Team of 10+ employees as of mid-2024, with active hiring on both sides of the Atlantic (NYC and Paris). - Already serving enterprise customers and publishing ROI metrics (average 90% noise reduction). ## Competitive Advantages - **AI‑native, outcome‑oriented agents**: Instead of generating scores, Konvu agents deliver reproducible evidence and actionable fixes, integrated directly into scanners, GitHub, and Slack. - **Privacy & flexibility**: Code is never stored or used for training; supports self-hosted deployment for air‑gapped environments. SOC 2 Type II certified. - **Founding team expertise**: The founders previously built widely‑adopted security products at Sqreen (acquired by Datadog), Datadog, and Codacy, giving them deep domain credibility. - **Configurable policies**: Adapt to any workflow and regulatory environment; integrations are frictionless and custom integrations built on request. ## Strategic Focus - Continue building AI agents that bridge the gap between security and engineering, with a priority on reducing false positives and automating remediation. - Scale the agent ecosystem across more vulnerability types (cloud, open‑source dependencies, WAF mitigation). - Expand enterprise adoption by maintaining SOC 2 compliance and supporting both cloud and self‑hosted deployments. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: “A small team of product builders across NYC and Paris, obsessed with moving fast, staying pragmatic, and building with both humility and ambition.” - **Work policy**: Hybrid – offices in Williamsburg (Brooklyn, NYC) and Sentier (Paris), described as vibrant, creative hubs. The team is “globally minded from day one.” - **People**: The founding team previously launched and scaled products at Sqreen, Datadog, Dependabot, GitHub, and Codacy. Early employees will work directly with experienced security entrepreneurs. - **Perks & environment**: Sunny terrace in Paris, skylight in NYC; emphasis on fast iteration and agentic AI engineering.
