Snyk
Snyk is a Cloud & Application Security company founded in 2015 and based in Boston, United States. It has raised $1.3B in total funding, most recently a Series G in 2022 at a $7.4B valuation.
Founded in 2015 by Guy Podjarny, Assaf Hefetz, and Danny Grander, Snyk pioneered the developer-first model of application security, embedding vulnerability detection and automated fixes directly into the tools developers already use. Its platform spans static analysis of proprietary code (powered by its DeepCode AI engine), software composition analysis of open-source dependencies, container image scanning, and infrastructure-as-code security. Snyk raised a $196.5M Series G in December 2022 at a $7.4B valuation, has surpassed roughly $300M in annual recurring revenue, and serves thousands of enterprises. CEO Peter McKay, who led the company since 2019, announced in early 2026 that he would step down once a successor is named, as Snyk weighs a long-discussed IPO.
Snyk defined developer-first AppSec and is a bellwether for the category's IPO window; as AI generates ever more code, its automated scan-and-fix model targets the surge in machine-authored vulnerabilities.
