Founded in 2022 by the serial cybersecurity entrepreneurs behind Demisto, Los Altos-based Descope offers a visual, drag-and-drop external IAM platform that lets developers create, modify, and manage authentication and authorization journeys for end users, partners, AI agents, and MCP servers. The product includes capabilities such as a connectors ecosystem, identity federation broker, agentic identity hub, and FedRAMP High-authorized offerings, all delivered with a developer-friendly no-code/low-code interface. Descope’s platform is now used by over a thousand organizations in production, serving thousands of companies overall, saving time for tens of thousands of developers, and managing hundreds of millions of identities. The company has earned recognition from KuppingerCole, Frost & Sullivan, Gartner, Fortune’s Cyber 60, and others. With total seed funding of $88 million, Descope is well-capitalized to pursue its roadmap. The newly raised capital will fund further R&D in agentic identity, geographic expansion, and headcount growth across engineering, product, and customer experience teams.
