Adaptive Security was founded in 2024 by seasoned entrepreneurs Brian Long and Andrew Jones. Since inception, the company has raised over $50 million from top-tier investors including OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, and executives from Google Cloud, Fidelity, Plaid, Shopify, and other industry leaders.
Adaptive defends organizations against sophisticated, AI-driven cyber threats such as deepfakes, vishing, smishing, and spear phishing. Its next-generation security awareness training and AI phishing simulation platform enables security teams to deliver ultra-personalized training that adapts to each employee’s role, access level, and exposure. This training leverages real-time open-source intelligence (OSINT) and features highly convincing deepfake content—including synthetic media of a company’s own executives—to mirror real-world attack vectors.
Through AI-powered simulations, customers can continuously assess and improve organizational resilience. Hyper-realistic phishing tests across voice, SMS, email, and video channels evaluate risk across every major vector. These simulations are fueled by Adaptive’s AI OSINT engine, giving teams deep visibility into how attackers might exploit their digital footprint.
Today, Adaptive serves global leaders like Figma, The Dallas Mavericks, BMC Software, and Stone Point Capital. With an industry-leading Net Promoter Score of 94, Adaptive is redefining excellence in cybersecurity.

GridMatrix
GridMatrix harnesses cutting-edge technology to enhance traffic management, aiming to reduce waiting times for all road users, including motorists at traffic signals, buses at railway crossings, and pedestrians at crosswalks. By minimizing the idle durations brought on by halts, this system plays a crucial role in decreasing emissions, as vehicles that idle contribute more than 30 million tonnes of CO2 annually. The impact of achieving zero emissions from idling is akin to removing 6.5 million cars from the roads of the United States. Instead of expanding road networks to meet the increasing demands of population and traffic, municipalities can boost the effectiveness of their current roadways through GridMatrix’s state-of-the-art real-time software solution. Moreover, cities are committed to eliminating traffic fatalities, and GridMatrix's offerings can significantly aid in this pursuit. Improved traffic flow not only enhances the efficiency of transportation but is also associated with a reduction in accidents; GridMatrix’s analytical capabilities can pinpoint high-collision intersections, enabling focused interventions. Thus, the incorporation of GridMatrix’s technology fosters not just better transportation efficiency but also advances public safety and environmental health, creating a more sustainable urban landscape. With these comprehensive benefits, GridMatrix stands out as a vital partner for cities aiming to navigate the future of urban mobility effectively.
