Root Evidence develops an evidence-based vulnerability management platform that prioritizes the small fraction of vulnerabilities that are actually exploited in the wild. The company is building a fully integrated vulnerability scanning and attack surface management solution designed to be fast, highly scalable, and to surface issues proven to cause material financial losses. Root Evidence enables security teams to calculate financial risk, focus remediation on the vulnerabilities that matter most, and reduce the likelihood of a breach. The startup emphasizes "root evidence" — proof a specific vulnerability was exploited, led to a reported breach, and resulted in financial loss — as the highest standard for prioritization. It has early interest from several Fortune 500 enterprises and is expanding its group of design partners to shape the product roadmap. Root Evidence was founded in July 2025 by Jeremiah Grossman, Robert "RSnake" Hansen, Heather Konold, and Lex Arquette, and it recently closed a $12.5M seed round.
