Striga has raised €1M in seed funding from a private investor in the cybersecurity industry. The round goes toward putting the platform in front of more security teams across cloud and on-prem, growing our research and engineering team, and taking on more targets to push our vulnerability research further.

Artificial intelligence is the next generation of vulnerability research. Franciszek Kalinowski and Bartłomiej Dmitruk started Striga in early 2025 on that bet, drawing on two decades of offensive research at ISEC. The findings since have borne it out.

Our approach puts a working exploit behind every vulnerability we report, chained into a full attack path where one exists. That has turned into more than 20 CVEs in 2026 in widely-used production software, with coverage from The Hacker News and Help Net Security. Full technical writeups are on our research page, and the running list is on our CVEs page.

Building on open-source models is a deliberate choice. The capability a team relies on to secure its own software shouldn't depend on a model a single provider can reprice, restrict, or switch off, and part of the round goes toward bringing that independence to more teams.

A Striga audit starts at $999, a fraction of a traditional human-led review, with a dedicated specialist on every engagement. Point Striga at your codebase and you get a report of real, exploitable issues, each with a working proof of concept. Request an audit.

We spent the last year proving the idea works. Now we get to scale it.
