Pixee Raises $15M to Automate Code Security to Meet the Velocity of GenAI-Enabled Developers
The new capital will accelerate Pixee's product development and expansion of the go-to-market team, enabling the company to scale adoption among enterprises and capture the growing demand for its AI-powered solution.
Early enterprise customers have seen substantial benefits from adopting Pixee, including recapturing 91% of developer remediation time and cutting security triage time by 74%. Automated code fixes achieve an impressive 76% merge rate.
Pixee is the first enterprise-grade tool that uses agentic AI for context and logic alongside deterministic techniques, delivering both intelligent vulnerability triage and accurate, trusted fixes. It integrates directly into developer workflows, including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps, creating pull requests with ready-to-accept code. Purpose-built for security-conscious enterprises, the on-premises deployment option keeps customers' sensitive data, intellectual property, and source code fully under the customer's control. This eliminates the risk of data leaks or exposure to unregulated AI tools, ensuring strong trust, security, and protection.
'Developers are more prolific today than ever before, especially those leveraging the latest genAI tools like Cursor, Claude Code & GitHub Co-pilot,' said Surag Patel, co-founder and CEO of Pixee. 'It's time application security teams are empowered with a platform that enables them to 10X their team and keep pace with their counterparts. By focusing on capabilities like automated, production-ready code fixes directly into developer workflows and automating expert automated triage for security, enterprises can now ship secure code at unprecedented velocity. Teams can trust that any vulnerabilities within code are being resolved faster than new ones can be introduced.'
IDC projects that by 2027, 70% of corrective code fixes for application security issues will be generated by AI-assisted automated remediation tools, reducing the time to patch vulnerabilities to just days. The report also found that developers estimate spending 19% of their weekly hours on security-related tasks, often outside normal working hours. The average organization spends a whopping $28,100 per developer each year in security-related tasks.
'It's time Application Security teams have their 'Cursor' equivalent platform. Pixee is the first platform we've seen that truly changes the equation in security programs and enables them to keep up with the pace of developers. By natively weaving into the developer workflow and automating work that previously was a tax on developers and security teams, security gets done automatically. Instead of the same story of understaffed product security teams, we finally have a path to the enterprise dream,' said Dan Nguyen-Huu, Partner at Decibel.
'At the heart of Pixee is a powerful insight: genAI-fueled developer productivity and security can coexist without friction. By automating the complex tasks of resolving issues from product security scanners, Pixee allows developers and security teams to reclaim valuable time, driving innovation and delivering higher quality software, faster,' added Jake Flomenberg, Partner at Wing.
Pixee was founded by industry veterans with decades of experience in security and developer enablement. Co-founder and CEO Surag Patel was the Chief Strategy Officer at Contrast Security, and held leadership roles at 41st Parameter (acquired by Experian), comScore, and InMobi. Co-founder and CTO Arshan Dabirsiaghi co-founded cybersecurity unicorn Contrast Security and is recognized as one of the world's most prominent application security experts. Together, they are building Pixee to redefine how security is managed in the development process.

CORRECTING and REPLACING Zip Marks Fifth Anniversary with New Offices in San Francisco and New York
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Please replace the release dated July 24, 2025, with the following corrected version due to multiple revisions. "The fact that Fortune 500 companies across financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, defense, and retail are choosing a five-year-old company over established vendors speaks to how fundamentally we've reimagined procurement." Share The updated release reads: ZIP MARKS FIFTH ANNIVERSARY WITH NEW OFFICES IN SAN FRANCISCO AND NEW YORK Agentic Procurement Orchestration Leader Doubles Office Footprint Amid Explosive Growth, Surpasses Hundreds of Billions in Processed Requests Zip, the world's leading agentic procurement orchestration platform, today celebrated its fifth anniversary by unveiling expanded offices in San Francisco and New York to accommodate rapid workforce growth driven by unprecedented enterprise adoption. The company has grown from 250 to over 500 employees in the past year alone while securing Global 2000 customers across every major industry. Five years ago, Zip's founders chose to tackle procurement – hardly the most glamorous corner of technological innovation. While others chased trendy markets, Zip focused on the overlooked but critical process of how companies buy what they need. Few shared their vision. Then the world changed. Supply chain disruptions, inflation, and tariffs turned procurement from a back-office afterthought into a C-suite priority. What Zip had been quietly building suddenly became every CEO's top concern. That early vision, combined with five years of relentless innovation and AI leadership, explains why global giants from OpenAI to Discover are choosing Zip to transform their operations. 'Over the past five years, we've built something remarkable – a product so sticky that we've maintained 100% retention across our strategic enterprise customers,' said Rujul Zaparde, Co-founder and CEO of Zip. 'The fact that Fortune 500 companies across financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, defense, and retail are choosing a five-year-old company over established vendors speaks to how fundamentally we've reimagined procurement. We've processed over hundreds of billions in total purchasing request volume since our founding five years ago and we've barely scratched the surface of the global opportunity.' From Zero to $2.2 Billion: Five Years of Unprecedented Growth Zip's journey from startup to enterprise standard represents one of the fastest value creation stories in enterprise software history. In October 2024, the company secured $190 million in Series D funding at a $2.2 billion valuation, marking the largest investment in procurement technology in over two decades and validating Zip's position as the category leader. Since its founding in 2020, Zip has achieved milestones that typically take enterprise software companies decades: Customer Momentum: Trusted by hundreds of global enterprises including AMD, Anthropic, Canva, Coinbase, Discover, Lyft, Northwestern Mutual, OpenAI, Pinterest, Reddit, Sephora, and Snowflake Financial Impact: Generated $4.4 billion in customer savings, with companies averaging 3.6% reduction in total spend savings and 25% in productivity gains Product Innovation: Introduced intake to the world, pioneered orchestration, and launched the industry's first agentic AI suite with 50+ procurement agents. Platform has delivered 4.6 million AI insights and achieved unprecedented engagement for an enterprise software platform with 14 million customer comments Doubling Down on Talent and Geographic Expansion To support its trajectory, Zip is hiring aggressively across all markets while significantly expanding its physical footprint: San Francisco: New headquarters doubles office space to 75,000 square feet, housing 200+ employees from top universities like Stanford and MIT, and companies like Meta, Airbnb, and Scale. The expansion reaffirms Zip's commitment to San Francisco as its global headquarters, investing in the city's downtown revitalization New York: Expanding beyond co-working to establish a permanent Manhattan headquarters, positioning Zip closer to financial services and media giants Global Reach: 60+ employees across EMEA, with continued expansion in London The company has grown from approximately 250 employees to over 500 in the past year, hiring 100+ people per quarter, with spending heavily weighted toward R&D. Five Years of Relentless Innovation Zip's trajectory from introducing intake to pioneering agentic procurement orchestration showcases the company's ability to anticipate and shape market needs: 2020: Founded with a vision to fix broken procurement processes; introduced intake and procurement orchestration to the world, transforming how companies start the procurement process 2021: Revolutionized workflows by launching dynamic approvals and integrating with 25+ enterprise systems including ERPs, CLMs, and GRC platforms 2022: Expanded beyond intake to full Procure-to-Pay capabilities, enabling end-to-end procurement orchestration 2023: Became the first procurement platform to embed generative AI, delivering millions of AI-powered insights to customers 2024: Launched the Integration Platform enabling rapid enterprise deployments; established the Zip AI Lab following landmark Series D funding 2025: Introduced Agentic Procurement Orchestration; unveiled suite of 50+ specialized AI agents that autonomously handle complex procurement tasks from tariff analysis to contract reviews 'Five years ago, we introduced intake to the world. We scaled orchestration. Now, we're shaping the agentic future with 50+ AI agents that are redefining what procurement is capable of,' added Lu Cheng, Zip Co-founder and CTO. 'The most exciting part? We're just getting started.' This fall, Zip will host Zip Forward 2025 at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, where 750+ procurement and finance leaders will gather under the theme 'Agents of Change.'
