British software supply chain security startup RevEng.AI has raised $15 million in early-stage funding. The company analyzes software at the binary level to detect hidden malicious code-without needing access to the source code.
Founder and CEO James Patrick-Evans says the model, trained alongside elite government and commercial security units, identifies vulnerabilities and backdoors deliberately placed in widely-used software. The goal: secure software supply chains for enterprises and critical infrastructure.
With the rise of AI coding bots generating vast amounts of software, Patrick-Evans says executable binaries are the only universal source of truth. RevEng.AI automates verification before code is deployed.
The Series A was led by the NATO Innovation Fund, with participation from Sands Capital, In-Q-Tel, IQ Capital, and Episode One.
