Introducing LaunchSafe

Built Fast, Breached Faster - the uncomfortable math of building software in the age of AI.

Something quietly shifted in the last two years. We learned to build software faster than at any point in history and we started shipping vulnerabilities just as fast.

The code is moving faster than the reviews

The numbers are hard to argue with. In Veracode's 2025 study of more than 100 language models, "45% of AI-generated code introduced a vulnerability from the OWASP Top 10 and overall, AI-generated code contains 2.74 times more vulnerabilities than code written by humans." Java performed worst, failing security tests more than 70% of the time. Notably, as these models improved in coding capability throughout 2025, security outcomes remained flat.

Considering widespread adoption—over 70% of developers use AI assistants—the impact is significant. By mid-2025, "roughly ten times as many new security findings entering codebases each month as a year earlier." Development velocity has outpaced security review capacity.

The other side didn't stand still

Attackers have simultaneously enhanced their capabilities using identical technologies. The CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report documented "an 89% rise in attacks by AI-enabled adversaries." According to Mandiant's M-Trends 2026, "exploitation now happens an average of 7 days before a patch is even released." What previously required specialized teams can now be executed by individual operators leveraging commercial AI tools.

This dynamic creates a fundamental asymmetry: automation accelerated development and attack capabilities, while defense—the labor-intensive work of identifying and remediating vulnerabilities—received no comparable upgrade.

This is why we started LaunchSafe

We founded LaunchSafe after repeatedly observing teams that prioritized security still getting compromised, despite good intentions and rapid execution. The existing tools were architected for an earlier technological era.

We're launching with additional announcements coming. For founders, engineers, and builders creating meaningful products, LaunchSafe exists to serve you.

The instruments enabling future construction are universally accessible. So are the instruments for disruption. The determining factor becomes who identifies weaknesses first.
