While the adoption of AI in software development is reaching new heights, one major hurdle remains: security. Today, Symbiotic Security marks a historic milestone by announcing a $10 million Seed funding round and the official launch of Symbiotic Code.
With nearly 75% of developers now utilizing AI coding tools, a concerning reality is surfacing: while AI produces functionally correct code in about 60% of cases, over 80% of that code contains exploitable security vulnerabilities.
Unlike traditional tools that act as after-the-fact checkers, Symbiotic Code is the world’s first agent designed to produce secure code by default.
· Native Security: The agent embeds advanced enforcement directly into the code generation process.
· Policy Alignment: It transparently applies company-specific security policies and verifies outputs.
· Model-Agnostic Freedom: Enterprises can use their preferred models — including Claude, DeepSeek, Llama, and Mistral — whether in the cloud or on-premises.
· Deep Remediation: The agent can identify sensitive entry points and centralize security logic through agentic refactoring.
The $10 million round was led by Alven, with participation from existing lead investors Lerer Hippeau and Axeleo Capital. The startup also gained support from prominent AI ecosystem figures, including Thomas Wolf (co-founder of Hugging Face) and Julien Launay (CEO of Adaptive ML).
We are so glad at Axeleo Capital to back Symbiotic Security since inception, back when they raised their first pre-seed round co-led by Lerer Hippeau and ourselves.
With 15+ enterprise deployments already live, Symbiotic Security will use these funds to accelerate product expansion and scale operations for Fortune 500 leaders.
