Nudge Security

Founded in 2021 by Russell Spitler and Jaime Blasco, the platform combines Day One SaaS and AI app discovery, security posture management, identity governance, third-party risk, and spend management, then reaches employees directly with 'security nudges' via browser, Slack, and Teams to guide safer choices without blocking work. It raised a $22.5M Series A in November 2025 and serves nearly 200 customers.
Torii
Torii is a SaaS Management Platform (SMP) that helps IT and finance teams discover, optimize, and govern the software running across their organization. Founded in 2016 by three serial entrepreneurs, Torii pioneered a discovery-first approach that surfaces shadow IT - and, more recently, shadow AI - through browser extensions, SSO, direct integrations, and financial data. On top of that visibility it layers spend analytics, license optimization, and no-code automation for tasks like onboarding, offboarding, and renewals. Headquartered in New York with R&D in Israel, Torii counts customers such as Instacart, Bumble, and Palo Alto Networks, and was named a Leader in Gartner's 2025 Magic Quadrant for SaaS Management Platforms.
