Snapshot of SafeStack
Empowering Developers to Build Secure Software from Day One
SafeStack is on a mission to create a safer digital world by training millions of developers to think and act securely.
Based in New Zealand and operating globally, SafeStack provides a flexible, community-driven platform for security education designed specifically for modern software development teams.
Founded by cybersecurity expert Laura Bell Main, SafeStack helps organisations embed security practices early and often, making secure development an everyday habit rather than an afterthought. Their platform is used by over 350 organisations across 45 countries, with nearly 20,000 active learners and a thriving free tier.
In 2022, SafeStack raised NZ$4 million in a funding round led by Blackbird, joined by Jelix Ventures, Carthona Capital, NAB Ventures, K1W1, and NZ Growth Capital Partners. The investment fuels their bold ambition to train 30 million security-minded software developers worldwide.
