We met as freshmen at UNC, bonding over late-night ping pong matches and deep conversations about AI and our long-term ambitions. It quickly became clear that beyond friendship, we shared a drive to build something transformative. That drive became Scalator — our vision to create a world-class cybersecurity unicorn.

With MITRE recently announcing the termination of the CVE program, the global security landscape is on the brink of chaos. The foundational system for disclosing and tracking vulnerabilities is crumbling — and there’s no clear successor. Scalator exists to fill that vacuum. We’re building a next-generation platform that doesn’t just catalog vulnerabilities — it predicts, preempts, and neutralizes them using self-learning red team AI. Where others see the end of a system, we see the beginning of something better.
