Participated · Seed · Oct 2025
SafeHill, formerly known as Tacticly, develops a Threat Exposure Management platform that lets enterprises build Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) programs. Its flagship offering, SafeHill SecureIQ™, combines continuous asset discovery, automated threat-exposure assessments, and human-validated penetration testing to give security teams an always-on view of their risk posture. The platform’s AI-assisted ethical-hacking capabilities aim to help organizations remediate vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. Cofounded by Mike Pena, Nicholas Gonzalez, and Hector Monsegur, the company focuses on large enterprises that need real-time, continuous security validation rather than periodic audits. With fresh capital, SafeHill plans to expand its engineering team, deepen partnerships with enterprise security teams, and further enhance its AI-driven testing features. The recent $2.6 million pre-seed raise provides the company’s current financial runway and represents its first institutional funding round.
