About Escape

Our mission: Make security accessible to everyone

Escape is an API Security Company. APIs are the cornerstone of data exchanges on the Internet and the ideal entry point for hackers. Escape develops a unique Artificial Intelligence that allows organizations to find and fix security issues in APIs before it's too late. Thousands of developers of major organizations such as Société Générale, Neo4J and Sorare already use its SaaS platform.

Founded in 2020, it has successfully positioned itself as one of the most promising European cybersecurity start-ups winning the Grand Défi Cyber Prize delivered by the French Government and the ANSSI. In 2023, the start-up joined the Y Combinator accelerator, which fostered its entry into the international competition game as a major security provider.

The founders graduated from Polytechnique & HEC (CTO) and ENSTA & HEC (CEO). Both finished their studies in the United States at UC Berkeley. The rest of the team comprises passionate people from the most prestigious French Universities: Polytechnique, Télécom Paris, Centrale, HEC, Sciences Po Paris, 42

Escape is VC-backed and just closed its Seed round. It is scaling rapidly and aims to become the international leader in API Security in the coming years. The company is hiring talented people to take on high responsibilities in this international scale-up adventure. Be the next one!
