Veria Labs provides continuous AI pentesting that automatically finds and fixes vulnerabilities in software. Its AI agents run offensive security testing continuously against codebases and applications, exploring exploitability and chaining related weaknesses into full attack paths rather than relying on static analysis alone. The company spun out of a top US competitive hacking team and positions itself as a faster, more cost-effective alternative to traditional pentesting. Veria Labs was founded in 2025 and is part of Y Combinator's Fall 2025 batch.

- What does Veria Labs do?
- Veria Labs offers continuous AI pentesting that automatically finds and fixes vulnerabilities by running offensive security testing against codebases and applications.
- How is it different from static analysis?
- Its AI agents probe real exploitability and chain related weaknesses into full attack paths, rather than relying on static analysis alone, to reflect how real attackers operate.
- Who built Veria Labs?
- The company spun out of a top US competitive hacking team and was founded in 2025 as part of Y Combinator's Fall 2025 batch.
- Does it replace traditional pentesting?
- It positions itself as a faster, more cost-effective alternative to traditional pentesting. As an automated, early-stage tool, it may still complement expert manual testing for nuanced cases.
- How often does Veria Labs test?
- It runs continuously rather than as a one-time engagement, so applications are tested on an ongoing basis as code changes.
