RASPIRE on the record
What they shipped
- From its YC profile: RASPIRE is the first line of defense for applications against AI-powered fraud attacks, API abuse, and runtime threats. Unlike code scanners and pentesting tools that identify vulnerabilities before release, RASPIRE operates like a security expert running inside applications, monitoring, detecting, and blocking attacks 24/7 in real time. All without writing a single line of code. (source)
- Its own site describes it as: "No-code runtime security for Android, iOS, and cross-platform apps. AI-configured defenses protect every release from tampering, reverse engineering, and runtime abuse without touching source code. Protection applied in minutes, not weeks." (source)
Who is behind it
- Kareem Selim, Founder/CEO: Co-founder & CEO @ RASPIRE. Used to break apps for a living. Now shipping automated security for them, built by hackers, against hackers. (source)
- Hassan Mostafa, Founder/CTO: Co-founder & CTO @ RASPIRE. Spent years breaking apps for banks and fintechs, now building the runtime security they were missing. (source)
