XBOW builds an autonomous offensive security platform — an AI 'hacker' that continuously identifies, validates, and reports real exploitable vulnerabilities at machine speed, replacing point-in-time penetration testing with always-on adversarial workflows modeled on real attack techniques.
Founded by Oege de Moor (creator of GitHub Copilot and GitHub Advanced Security) with engineers from the original Copilot team and CISO Nico Waisman (formerly CISO at Lyft), XBOW has integrated with Microsoft's security ecosystem for continuous AI-driven pentesting.
In March 2026, XBOW raised a $120M Series C led by DFJ Growth and Northzone at a $1B+ valuation, then added $35M in strategic investment from Accenture Ventures, NVentures (NVIDIA), Samsung Ventures, SentinelOne S Ventures, DNX, and Liberty Global. Total funding stands at $237 million.
