Summary

We are celebrating Bugcrowd's 10th anniversary, marking a decade of growth as the leader in crowdsourced cybersecurity, with over 90% of businesses failing within the first ten years. The company was founded on September 1, 2012, by Casey Ellis after a "napkin moment" when he realized the potential of bug bounty programs to connect hackers and organizations to combat global cybersecurity threats. Bugcrowd has witnessed significant shifts in the way the internet views security, launching thousands of careers and shifting perceptions to acknowledge the crucial role hackers play in security. The company has grown from 17 employees to over 280, and raised $83M in venture capital, with a customer base of over 600 companies across 30 industries and 43 countries, and a community of 275,000+ security experts. With its mission to power proactive security postures and create a world where no one is blindsided by cybersecurity attacks, Bugcrowd looks forward to the next decade of innovation and continuous growth.
