  • Oneleet, a security compliance startup, has raised $33 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Dawn Capital, with backing from Y Combinator, Frank Slootman (former CEO of Snowflake and ServiceNow), and Arash Ferdowsi (co-founder of Dropbox).

Founded in 2022 by Bryan Onel, Ora Onel, and Erik Vogelzang, Oneleet bridges the gap between passing audits and achieving true security. The team, with roots in offensive security, saw how compliance was often reduced to a checkbox exercise either using tools that don’t reduce risk or relying on slow, costly manual processes.

Designed from an attacker’s perspective, Oneleet prioritizes the security fundamentals adversaries exploit, delivering only essential controls at a cost-effective price. Its platform offers deep technical coverage through an “AI + pentester verification” model that uncovers up to 30% more assets than incumbents.

It also guarantees successful audits with a proprietary integrations engine, code scanner, and attack-surface monitoring built on a unified data model to surface the issues attackers are most likely to target.

We call it the ‘pentester mindset: find what others miss’. This means we use AI extensively to scale what used to be a manual expert review. AI doesn't have a security expert's intuition for what looks suspicious, which is why we augment, not replace, human expertise, said Bryan Onel.

The fresh funding will fuel rising demand, speed up product and business development, broaden service offerings, and boost team expansion.

Oneleet is a full-stack compliance platform designed to make cybersecurity simple, effective, and hassle-free. By combining automation with attacker-focused insights, it helps businesses go beyond audits, strengthen defenses and reduce risks, ensuring real security while simplifying compliance processes for organizations of all sizes.
