Open source security startup Hopper on Tuesday emerged from stealth mode, announcing that it has received $7.6 million in funding for its solution.
Founded by Roy Gottlieb (CEO) and Oron Gutman (CTO), the company was named after computer programming pioneer Grace Hopper.
Hopper has developed a platform designed to help organizations manage open source software (OSS) risk.
The platform is advertised as an alternative to software composition analysis (SCA), aiming to address common application security challenges such as false positives, alert fatigue, and the lack of exploitability context.
The Hopper platform provides function-level reachability, automated asset discovery, hidden vulnerability detection, and support for complex web frameworks, without the need for agents or CI changes, the company says.
Hopper claims its solution can pinpoint the line of code where a vulnerability exists, even in tens of thousands of lines of code.
“We didn’t start Hopper because the world needed another SCA tool,” said Gottlieb. “We started it because existing solutions overwhelm teams and slow down development. Hopper is built to cut through the clutter, surface real risks, and make open-source security fast, accurate, and developer-friendly.”
Hopper has raised $7.6 million in seed funding from Meron Capital, New Era, Sequoia Scout Fund, M-Fund, and angel investors.
