About XBOW

Build the future of offensive security with XBOW. Attackers are already using AI to move faster than defenders can react-we're creating the platform that puts security ahead in the arms race. Our AI-powered system autonomously discovers, validates, and even exploits vulnerabilities, giving organizations proof-backed results in hours instead of weeks.

Founded by Oege de Moor, creator of GitHub Copilot, and backed by Sequoia, Altimeter, and other leading investors, XBOW is applying cutting-edge AI to one of the world's most urgent problems. In just over a year, our AI, built by a world-class AI team and legendary security researchers - has uncovered thousands of real-world zero-days across the software billions rely on, and achieved the #1 ranking on HackerOne's global leaderboard.

We're a team of builders, hackers, and researchers who thrive on solving problems others think are impossible. If you want to push the boundaries of AI, reshape how security is done, and join the group defining this new era of defense - we'd love to talk.
