🏢 About the Company

This fast-growing cybersecurity company is on a mission to build a stronger security culture across organizations — by making cybersecurity awareness actually work. Inspired by platforms like Duolingo, their chat-based training experience is both engaging and effective, helping employees learn in just a few minutes a week.

The platform combines:

🎯 Bite-sized, gamified awareness content delivered in 3–4 minute chat formats
🧠 Automated phishing simulations to test and reinforce real-world skills
📊 Clear reporting dashboards to measure progress and risks across teams

Founded in 2020, the company has raised over $30M from top-tier investors and now protects over 1 million employees across 1,500+ companies worldwide — including Intercom, Deel, and Deezer.

With cybersecurity now ranked as the #1 risk for businesses globally, they’re helping companies shift the paradigm by empowering their biggest vulnerability — people — to become their first line of defense.
