History

How we came to be

Founded by Drew Dennison, Isaac Evans, and Luke O’Malley in 2017, the company’s mission has been to profoundly improve software security from day 1.

In 2020, the team reignited development of the open source project sgrep, which evolved into Semgrep, today a leading security solution used by companies like Figma, Dropbox, Slack, Snowflake, and many more.
