Connect VenturesAikido Security builds application security software that scans code, tracks dependencies, and protects cloud and runtime environments for software teams. Its product line includes Aikido Attack, an automated penetration-testing tool the company introduced in 2025 after acquiring the startups Allseek and Haicker. Developers and security teams at organizations of many sizes use the platform to catch vulnerabilities before code ships.
The company was incorporated in Ghent, Belgium, in October 2022 by Willem Delbare, Roeland Delrue, Felix Garriau, and Madeline Lawrence, and takes its name from the Japanese martial art. It has since opened offices in San Francisco, London, and Chicago, and in January 2026 became the fastest European cybersecurity company to reach unicorn status.
