Strengthen the companies you back.
Your founders are building the product. You're helping them build the company. We help make sure security doesn't become the thing that slows either one down.
Security can stop a promising product cold.
The Customer
Asks questions the team isn't prepared to answer.
The Regulator
Expects security documentation that wasn't built alongside the product.
The Pentester
Uncovers architectural problems late in development.
The Manufacturer
Needs a vulnerability management process, threat model, software bill of materials, or secure development documentation that no one planned for.
Those aren't simply security problems.
They're commercialization problems.
The Guild gives your companies a direct path to specialists who identify those issues earlier, explain what actually matters, and build a practical path forward.
Built for the organizations that build companies.
Product Security Guild partners with accelerators, incubators, investors, universities, and innovation ecosystems supporting emerging and growing technology companies. We give your companies access to experienced product security practitioners when they need them, without requiring every company in your ecosystem to build that expertise internally.
Accelerators
Add product security to the program without building an internal security practice. Workshops, office hours, product reviews, and readiness assessments become part of company building, not an emergency introduced near launch.
Incubators
Put practitioners in front of founders before the architecture hardens, while security decisions are still inexpensive to change.
Investors
Know more about the security behind the company, before and after the check. Technical diligence, portfolio reviews, remediation planning, and specialist support for portfolio companies, explained in business terms.
Universities
Introduce product security to spinouts before technical debt becomes commercial debt. Research teams are often building sophisticated technology long before they have security, regulatory, or commercialization resources.
Innovation Ecosystems
Give the companies in your ecosystem access to expertise that is otherwise hard to find, from programming and member resources to direct technical support for the one company that needs it.
Across the company lifecycle
Know what you are backing.
Material product-security risk is easy to miss in diligence and expensive to discover after the term sheet. Architecture, technical maturity, and regulatory exposure shape development cost, enterprise adoption, and company value.
- Technical due diligence
- Product security strategy
- Architecture and design review
- Likely remediation, in business terms
- Investment and technical diligence engagements
- Specialist review when an opportunity warrants it
Make security part of company building.
The cheapest time to fix a security decision is while it is still a decision. We work alongside founders and program teams during architecture, development, and validation so security is not an emergency introduced near launch.
- Threat modeling
- Secure product development
- Vulnerability management
- Software supply chain and SBOM readiness
- Remediation and readiness planning
- Cohort or portfolio assessments
- Security clinics
- Founder office hours
- Guild workshops
Make products easier to sell.
Security questionnaires, procurement reviews, supplier assessments, and regulators ask harder questions than the team has faced. We help companies understand those expectations, close the gaps that matter, and prepare for the conversations that decide whether a pilot moves forward.
- Penetration testing
- Regulatory and market readiness
- Customer and enterprise security readiness
- Security documentation
- Embedded expertise inside the program or portfolio
- Direct company engagements
Find the issues before another party does.
An acquisition, a strategic partnership, or a later round brings someone else's diligence. Organized evidence and a clear account of product-security maturity keep that conversation on leadership's terms.
- Pre-transaction security review
- Close material gaps
- Organize security evidence and documentation
- Help leadership communicate maturity
- Exit and transaction readiness engagements
- Diligence support, buy side or sell side
