"Aikido's core proposition is rooted in the conviction that traditional application security tools have not kept pace with the rapid evolution of software development. Modern engineering teams ship code more frequently, and the widespread adoption of AI tools for coding has heightened both velocity and risk. Legacy scanners and point solutions can generate noise and distract developers, rather than offering actionable insights at the right moment."
"Instead of siloed products that address a single layer of the stack, Aikido provides a unified platform that spans code analysis, cloud security, and runtime monitoring, with an emphasis on automation. The platform is designed to detect risks early in the development process, prioritise issues based on real-world impact, and help engineering teams fix problems before they reach production. CEO Willem Delbare has framed the product as "guardrails" for developers, tools that fit fluidly into existing workflows rather than creating extra hurdles."
Aikido Security closed a $60 million Series B led by DST Global, valuing the company at $1 billion. The round included participation from PSG Equity, Notion Capital, and Singular. Founded in 2022, Aikido reached unicorn status within three years and claims the fastest valuation pace among European cybersecurity firms. The new capital will accelerate product development and expansion into key markets, notably the United States, which generates about half of revenue. Revenue grew roughly fivefold in the past year while the customer base nearly tripled. The platform emphasizes developer-first, unified coverage across code, cloud, and runtime with strong automation.
