MindFort AI (YC X25)
About Us
MindFort is an AI‑powered penetration testing platform that delivers human‑level security testing at machine speed. We’re building fully autonomous AI agents that can find, exploit, and patch complex vulnerabilities in web applications at massive scale. Our agents think and act like human penetration testers: they analyze targets, collaborate, and exploit weaknesses — but with the speed and scale only AI can achieve.

Work directly with early customers to understand their needs, gather feedback, and ensure success.
Develop messaging, positioning, and sales collateral that resonates with technical buyers.
