Corgea

Corgea built their autonomous application security platform for development teams drowning in vulnerability alerts. ​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌Their initial assumption was that engineering leaders at mid-to-large companies would adopt their tool to reduce the manual burden of security triage and remediation. They targeted organizations already using traditional security scanners but frustrated by alert fatigue and false positives. When reaching out to prospects, Corgea discovered that their core value proposition—autonomous fix generation—resonated strongest with companies managing complex codebases at scale. Production customers like Zapier and Yageo validated this approach early: both saw approximately 20% improvement in true positive detection rates while cutting false positives by roughly 90% compared to their previous tooling. This dramatic reduction in noise directly addressed the developers' pain point of wasted remediation cycles. The fact that these customers could apply fixes within existing workflows without adding security headcount became the signal that Corgea had found product-market fit. Their targeting assumption held up: engineering teams at established companies with significant security tool investments were indeed their ideal buyers.
