Founder Ananay Arora announced OpenHack is now part of YC Fall 2026. The startup builds an 'always-on AI security engineer' that deeply understands your business, developer intent and system architecture — hunting, reasoning about, prioritizing and verifying vulnerabilities based on true business impact. Arora argues organizations still struggle with false positives, unclear fix prioritization, and AI-assisted attacks moving faster than ever.
