Funding details: $60 million (Series B)

Full Story

Aikido has raised $60 million in a Series B round, pushing its valuation to $1 billion just three years after launch.

The round was led by DST Global, with participation from PSG Equity, Singular, and Notion Capital, along with several new and existing backers.

Founded by former developers, Aikido builds security software aimed at engineering teams rather than compliance teams. The company says most security tools slow developers down and flood them with alerts that don’t matter.

Aikido’s platform pulls code, cloud, runtime, and supply chain security into one place. Instead of just flagging issues, it also helps teams fix them faster by adding context and automated remediation.

Over the past year, the company says revenue grew five times and its customer base more than tripled. Aikido is now used by over 100,000 teams worldwide, including the Premier League, SoundCloud, Niantic, and Revolut.

The company recently launched an AI-driven penetration testing product that runs simulated attacks using autonomous agents. The goal is to test and fix security issues continuously, without slowing down product releases.

Aikido employs around 180 people and ships product updates multiple times a day. The company says it plans to keep building toward software that can secure itself as code is written and deployed.

The funding was announced by the company in a blog post published on January 14, 2026.
