Vulnerability volume is the product. Prioritization is the company. Hackuity just raised to prove the bottleneck is capitalizable.
On September 16 Lyon-based Hackuity raised $19 million led by Forgepoint Capital International, with participation from existing investors Bright Pixel, Bpifrance, and Seventure Partners, according to FinSMEs, SecurityWeek, and The Next Web. The round brings total funding to $38 million. Valuation: Undisclosed across all three sources. Valuation: Undisclosed.
What Hackuity sells: an AI-powered Vulnerability Operations Center (VOC). Per FinSMEs and SecurityWeek, the platform aggregates security findings and asset data from more than 130 security tools into a single view of risks that matter, adds threat intelligence and business context, and coordinates remediation across security, IT, cloud, and engineering. Scoring factors cited by SecurityWeek: severity, exploitability, asset criticality, threat activity, and potential business impact.
Operating scale claims (FinSMEs, as of 2026): powers vulnerability operations for more than 6,000 users; helps protect over 2 million assets; manages 1 billion findings. Named clients in FinSMEs: Sodexo, Engie, BPCE, plus security providers such as Orange Cyberdefense. TNW independently names ENGIE and BPCE and quotes Orange Cyberdefense’s Cyril Demonceaux on turning vulnerability complexity into clear priorities. Treat scale figures as company-via-press claims until audited metrics land.
Use of proceeds, consistent across FinSMEs / SecurityWeek / TNW: accelerate product innovation and AI capabilities, plus international expansion across Europe and Asia. Leadership: CEO/co-founder Patrick Ragaru and CRO Pierre Samson. Founded 2018 (SecurityWeek). Prior raise: roughly $13 million Series A in 2022 led by what was then Sonae IM, now Bright Pixel Capital (SecurityWeek); TNW notes a €12M Series A out of stealth in 2022 and offices in Lyon, Paris, and Singapore. Each figure belongs to its own source; the currencies do not combine into a single number.
Thesis from Ragaru via SecurityWeek / TNW: vulnerability volumes eventually outpace manual capacity; AI-powered discovery (he references Anthropic’s Mythos-related findings coverage in TNW’s framing) makes the scale “impossible to ignore.” Forgepoint’s Damien Henault, via TNW: organizations can no longer rely on traditional vulnerability management approaches to keep up with AI-driven threats. That is investor POV, not a market size print; TAM: Undisclosed.
POV: “Vulnerability Operations Center” is either the missing orchestration layer above 130 scanners — or a Series-B-adjacent slogan for prioritization software. The underwrite is clean: $19M led by Forgepoint International, Bright Pixel + Bpifrance + Seventure in, $38M total, valuation blank. Buyers should ask whether VOC beats owning Tenable/Qualys/Wiz findings in-house with a SOAR glue layer. Channel tell: Orange Cyberdefense packing Hackuity into exposure management (TNW / FinSMEs). Sources: FinSMEs Sep 16, SecurityWeek Sep 16, and TNW Sep 16.
