StepSecurity, a Seattle, WA-based leader in protecting CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure, closed its $3m seed funding round.
The round was led by Runtime Ventures, with participation from Inner Loop Capital, SaaS Ventures, DeVC, and several notable industry leaders as angel investors.
The company intends to use the funds to invest in its open-source community and expand its enterprise offerings.
Founded two years ago by cybersecurity leaders Varun Sharma and Ashish Kurmi, StepSecurity provides a comprehensive security platform for GitHub Actions. Over 3000 open-source projects, including those from Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Google, Microsoft, Datadog, Kubernetes, Node, and Ruby, use StepSecurity to harden their CI/CD pipelines. The enterprise tier is currently deployed at customers in the crypto, healthcare, and cybersecurity industries.
StepSecurity plans to expand its product to cover other CI/CD environments, such as GitLab CI, Harness, and Azure DevOps. The company is also actively hiring across engineering, sales, and marketing to support its growth.
