Snyk
Developer-first AppSec platform that scans code, open-source dependencies, and containers, with AI-assisted fixes built into the IDE and CI pipeline.
Snyk was founded in London in 2015 by Guy Podjarny, Assaf Hefetz, and Danny Grander, three alumni of Unit 8200, Israel's signals intelligence unit. Podjarny led as CEO until 2019, when early investor Peter McKay took over and Podjarny moved into the president and chairman role; the company has since raised through a Series G in December 2022 ($196.5 million led by Qatar Investment Authority at a $7.4 billion valuation) and is now headquartered in Boston. Under McKay, Snyk grew past $325 million in annual recurring revenue and 4,800 customers, including Spotify, Kroger, and Salesforce, before he announced in February 2026 that he would step down once a successor with deeper AI-era product experience was found; CFO Ken MacAskill has served as interim CEO since. The company has been acquiring its way into AI and API security specifically, buying Portuguese DAST vendor Probely in November 2024 and AI security research firm Invariant Labs in June 2025.
