Aikido, the "no BS" security platform for developers and SMEs, has raised $17M in Series A funding led by Singular.vc, with participation from Notion Capital and Connect Ventures. The round comes just 6 months after Aikido's $5.3M seed funding, making it the fastest capitalized startup in Belgian history.
Founded by serial entrepreneur and CTO Willem Delbare, Aikido was created out of frustration with clunky, legacy security tools that "waste developers' time." The platform centralizes all necessary code and cloud security scanners in one place, making security simple for SMEs and doable for developers without industry jargon or red tape.

"Security, like compliance, used to be for the big guys, but now it's a growing requirement for all companies," said Delbare. "It's critical for SMEs to win customers and grow upmarket, but the security burden falls on developers' shoulders."
Aikido simplifies this challenge with an all-in-one platform that brings together essential security features. It has a simple UI and a freemium self-service model, allowing developers to easily manage security and function as a security engineer..
