Heeler Security, a pioneering startup in the application security space, has successful closed a $8.5 million Seed Series funding round – led by Norwest Venture Partners with significant participation from Storm Ventures.
“Application security requires a new approach that focuses on runtime visibility and that’s exactly what Heeler has done,” said David Zilberman, General Partner, Norwest Venture Partners.
Chris Hertz, Chief Executive Officer, James Green, Chief Product Officer, Trever McKee, Chief Technology Officer and Chris DeRamus, Chief Strategy Officer, launched Heeler in June 2023, driven by a vision to fundamentally transform application security by delivering:
- Real-time security and business context
- Detection, enrichment and posture management
- Response orchestration
“We are uniquely positioned to seize a massive market opportunity by creating a platform that offers comprehensive SDLC security at the convergence of application and cloud,” said Hertz.
“This round of seed funding will support our execution of that vision.”
Heeler’s patent-pending ProductDNA technology unifies the code, behavior and business context of applications in real-time.
ProductDNA delivers what was previously impossible: a frictionless chain of custody between the intended state in code and the running state in production. Acting as a shared operating platform for both security and developers, it embeds security seamlessly into the development lifecycle, benefiting both security and developer teams alike.
Heeler enables organizations to fulfill their mandate of customer trust by enhancing security and availability while maintaining speed and efficiency by automating assessment of security issues on business applications.
