MindFort
MindFort is a San Francisco AI security lab building autonomous agents that continuously find, validate, and patch vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs. Founded out of Y Combinator's X25 batch by offensive-security veterans, it runs like a 24/7 AI red team - proving exploits in isolated runtime environments before it reports them, then opening pull requests with the fix. The company raised a $3M+ seed led by Soma Capital in April 2026.
Alper Memis
H. Alper Memis is the Co-Founder and CEO of Picus Security, the company that pioneered Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) technology. A mathematician-turned-financial-analyst-turned-cybersecurity-CEO, Memis co-founded Picus in 2013 in Ankara, Turkey alongside two university friends — combining a rare background in sovereign debt management, financial risk, and a CFA designation with the mission to replace assumption-based security with continuous, evidence-based defense validation. Under his leadership, Picus has raised $80M in total funding (including a $45M Series C in 2024), serves 500+ enterprise customers including Mastercard, Visa, and Vodafone, and has simulated over one billion cyberattacks.
