Companies that use Aikido Security

I noticed that Aikido Security's customers are predominantly companies building or operating technology infrastructure that others depend on. These aren't just "tech companies" in the abstract sense. They're financial services platforms processing billions in transactions, SaaS providers whose software runs critical business operations, fintech companies handling sensitive payment data, and enterprise software makers serving thousands of corporate clients. Many are intermediaries or infrastructure players: payment processors, banking platforms, credit marketplaces, workforce management systems, and API-driven services that connect multiple parties.

These companies span growth stages, but most show signs of meaningful scale and maturity. I see Series B through D funding rounds, private equity ownership, employee counts typically between and 1,000, and frequent mentions of managing billions in assets or serving millions of users. They're past the scrappy startup phase. They have enterprise customers, regulatory obligations, and reputational risk to manage. Many explicitly mention compliance frameworks, certifications, and being "leaders" in their categories.

Source: Analysis of tech stacks from 257 companies that use Aikido Security

I noticed that Aikido Security users are developer-first companies with sophisticated, modern tech stacks. The presence of Semgrep (a code scanning tool) and Cursor (an AI-powered code editor) tells me these are engineering-heavy organizations that prioritize developer experience and security from the ground up. This isn't your traditional enterprise security buyer. These companies treat security tooling the same way they treat their development tools: it needs to be fast, integrated, and built for technical users.

The Semgrep and Aikido pairing is particularly revealing. Both are modern security tools that developers actually want to use, which suggests these companies embrace shift-left security practices where developers own security outcomes. The Cursor correlation reinforces this. Teams using cutting-edge AI coding assistants are early adopters who want their security tools to be equally modern. Then you have the DX and Dock connections, which are both about improving workflows. DX measures developer productivity while Dock creates beautiful customer-facing content rooms. These companies care deeply about operational excellence in both internal and external processes.

The full stack paints a picture of product-led growth companies in Series A to C stage. They're technical enough to evaluate security tools themselves (hence developer-friendly choices), but mature enough to invest in sales acceleration tools like Chili Piper and customer support automation like Forethought. They're not purely product-led or sales-led. They're hybrid: technical products sold with modern, efficient go-to-market motions.
