The Problem

Average npm project has 1,200+ transitive dependencies. GitHub Dependabot creates noise with hundreds of PRs. Snyk costs $25K+/yr for teams. Teams don't know which vulnerabilities actually affect their running code. Reachability analysis is missing from every tool. License compliance adds another dimension.

The Solution

Dependency intelligence platform with vulnerability scanning, reachability analysis (does the CVE actually affect YOUR code paths?), automated fix PRs, and license compliance — cutting vulnerability noise by 80%.

Target Audience

Engineering teams managing 10+ projects with hundreds of dependencies, security teams enforcing vulnerability policies, and startups needing SOC 2 dependency management evidence

Key Features

1
Dependency tree visualization showing transitive dependency chains
2
Vulnerability scanning with reachability analysis filtering non-exploitable CVEs
3
Automated fix PRs that update vulnerable dependencies with tested upgrades
4
License compliance scanning detecting GPL, AGPL, and other restrictive licenses
5
SBOM generation for supply chain compliance (CycloneDX, SPDX)
6
Dashboard showing vulnerability trends, fix rates, and mean-time-to-remediate

Why Now?

Supply chain attacks are critical (Log4j, XZ). Compliance requires SBOM. GitHub Dependabot creates too much noise. Reachability analysis reduces false positives 80%. SOC 2 demands dependency management.

Revenue Model

Free: 3 repos, basic scanning. Pro: $15/mo (10 repos + auto-fix PRs). Team: $49/mo (50 repos + reachability). Enterprise: $149/mo (unlimited + SBOM + SSO). Annual: 20% discount.

Competitive Landscape

Snyk

Developer security. $25K+/yr teams, comprehensive, expensive

GitHub Dependabot

Free dependency updates. Noisy, no reachability, basic CVE alerts

Mend (WhiteSource)

SCA tool. $10K+/yr, enterprise, comprehensive but complex

npm audit / pip-audit

CLI tools, no reachability, no auto-fix, no license scanning
