Former Google, Microsoft & Anthropic engineers
VELO is built by a small team of former Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic security engineers, pentesters, and AI-safety researchers. We’ve designed threat models for cloud-native fintechs, run red-team campaigns against LLM gateways, shipped shift-left tooling at hyperscaler scale, and authored compliance frameworks adopted by Fortune-500 platforms.
The mission: democratize expert-grade security
A traditional threat-modeling engagement costs $10,000–$50,000+ and takes 4–8 weeks. A penetration test for a mid-size SaaS runs $25k–$100k. We’ve sat on both sides of that invoice. Most teams shipping today simply can’t afford it — so they ship without it, and quietly accumulate risk.
VELO exists to deliver the same techniques used in those engagements — STRIDE, MITRE mapping, OWASP cross-referencing, NIST SSDF alignment — in 30 minutes for the price of a team lunch. So that every engineer, not just those at companies with security budgets, can build the kind of systems we want to live with.
