Who We Are

We’re on a mission to stop the most dominant cyberattacks on the planet.

Petra Security runs an AI-powered platform to protect SMBs from account takeovers. SMBs spend over $100 Billion a year on cybersecurity and are facing increasingly sophisticated and frequent attacks. Business Email Compromise attacks (BECs) have exploded, rising 141% y/y, largely driven by AI phishing. They have become the #1 way that businesses lose money to cyberattacks. Petra detects more attacks and responds faster than any competitor on the market, while also triggering fewer false positives.

We’ve grown very quickly, reaching mid-7-figures in ARR in a year. Over the last year, we’ve established ourselves as the best-in-class solution for account attack detection (check out our research). We already protect over 2.5 Million users across 10,000+ businesses. We price premium, yet have extremely low customer churn. Our customers consistently tell us that Petra is the best product they’ve ever used. You can see a demo of Petra here.

This is a rare chance to join early and help scale to $30M+ in revenue in the next 12 months.

Our founders are YC W24, and ex-Abnormal Security, Palo Alto Networks, and Bridgewater.

  • Proven track record of handling high-volume outbound (calls, emails, LinkedIn, etc.).

  • You’re extremely organized. You track your activity, know your numbers, and follow up religiously.

  • Bonus: You’re familiar with the MSP channel.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
