Vision

Every great cybersecurity company was once invisible — a two-person team in a university lab, a side project on GitHub, a first-time founder with a breakthrough idea. zylox finds them before anyone else does. We are building the most comprehensive cybersecurity startup radar in the world — a living map of every company, every founder, every breakthrough. VCs will use us to find deals. Founders will use us to track competitors. Analysts will use us to predict the next billion-dollar exit. This is Crunchbase meets Palantir for cybersecurity.

What we are building

• Automated crawlers scanning university research pages, social media, Crunchbase, LinkedIn, and niche forums
• AI-driven classification pipeline categorizing companies by sub-domain (endpoint, SIEM, zero trust, etc.)
• Daily intelligence briefs generated from raw crawl data
• Structured database of 10,000+ cybersecurity companies with funding, team, and product data
• Dashboard with filters, alerts, and trend analysis

Who we are looking for

• Scraping Engineer — Build and maintain reliable, scalable web crawlers. Experience with Puppeteer, Playwright, or Scrapy.
• OSINT Specialist — Design intelligence collection strategies. Know where to find startup signals before they go public.
• Data Ops — Build the ETL pipeline, data quality checks, and deduplication logic. PostgreSQL and pgvector experience is a plus.
