RevEng.ai, a cutting-edge start-up, is building foundational AI models to detect security threats and hidden vulnerabilities in software supply chains.
The company has confirmed a $4.15m seed funding round led by Sands Capital, with additional backing from In-Q-Tel Capital, IQ Capital and Episode 1.
RevEng.ai develops AI-driven tools that help organisations detect unsafe code embedded deep within the software they use, all without needing access to the original source code.
With fresh capital in hand, the company plans to speed up development of its proprietary AI models, expand its team, and grow its presence in the U.S. to tackle the rising costs of cybercrime and ransomware attacks.
RevEng.ai highlighted that today, nearly half of organisations are likely to experience a software supply chain attack, driven by AI-generated code, open-source dependencies, and opaque third-party software components. Its AI Binary Analysis Platform is designed to analyse and deconstruct any piece of software automatically, exposing hidden backdoors, malicious code or zero-day vulnerabilities to keep supply chains secure and compliant.
The company recently graduated from the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) for Startups programme, which provided vital backing and visibility with UK and US government stakeholders. RevEng.ai was also part of the Intel Ignite 2024 cohort, where it gained access to influential partners and technology resources to strengthen its product. Intel itself recognised the commercial value of the company’s AI-powered platform, using it internally and promoting it to wider markets.
RevEng.ai CEO and founder James Patrick-Evans said, “Our goal at RevEng.ai is to simplify and automate the analysis of released software. Our platform helps security engineers and malware analysts identify malicious components to verify the integrity of software supply chains without needing access to source code.”
