What sets Semgrep apart
Semgrep's core scanning engine is open source under an LGPL 2.1 license, supports 30+ programming languages, and has passed 16,000 stars on its GitHub repository.
The company is backed by a $100 million Series D led by Menlo Ventures, announced 5 February 2025 and bringing total funding to $204 million, and it was named to the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing.
For an early-career applicant weighing application-security employers, this pairing matters: the engineering work reaches both a large public developer community on GitHub and paying enterprise security teams through the same codebase, not one audience or the other.
