iTWire - NZ’s SafeStack Academy raises NZ$2.3million in seed round
Summary
SafeStack says the funding aims to capitalise on its “incredible early traction”, which includes reaching almost NZ$500,000 in its first 12 months of operation, and serving 57 companies in six countries. “Since its launch in September 2020, SafeStack Academy has earned a reputation for building security skills and culture across entire engineering teams by offering flexible, high quality, and people-focused online secure development education,” says SafeStack. “Rather than targeting specific programming languages and technologies, SafeStack Academy teaches secure design and architectural practices that integrate earlier into the software development life cycle, securing a wider range of teams and technical environments.” “With an estimated 30 million software development professionals worldwide, increasing by around 1.2 million per year, this space is growing at an astonishing rate,” Laura Bell said. At Jelix, we’re proud to back Laura and her team to realise their mission to be the global leader in secure software development education.” Amanda Angelini, Managing Director, NAB Ventures says, “We’re excited to support Laura and the team on such a promising solution at this stage of their journey. We know cyber security is a topic of increasing importance for businesses of all sizes, and what SafeStack Academy offers is an easy to understand platform built with flexibility in mind.”
