About DevArmor

DevArmor is a venture-backed, early-stage startup founded by repeat entrepreneurs and security veterans. Our founders have successfully started and sold security startups. We are backed by tier-1 investors, and our team of advisors include executives from Sierra.ai, Databricks, Netflix, Mozilla, Semgrep. Here is how an executive at Okta describes this opportunity:

"DevArmor is redefining how we build secure software. Instead of treating security as an afterthought, their platform bakes it into the earliest design decisions. That vision — security by design at scale — is exactly what our industry needs to finally get ahead of attackers. The team is stellar and brings a wealth of experience and developer empathy to the problem. I am thrilled to be an investor and partner with them in the journey in making security more than just a checkbox and empower developers to build secure software from day one."
