YesWeHack is a global security company headquartered in Paris, France .[1] It provides a crowdsourced platform for bug bounty programs[2] where ethical hackers can report security exploits and vulnerabilities.[3][4] It was founded in 2015 by Guillaume Vassault-Houlière, Manuel Dorne and Romain Lecoeuvre.[5]
In 2019, the company raised four million euros from Open CNP, the corporate venture program of CNP Assurances, and Normandie Participations.[6] Two years later, in 2021, YesWeHack raised sixteen million euros in Series B funding. The second round was led by the Series A investors as well as Banque des Territoires and Eiffel Investment Group.[7]
YesWeHack has offices in France (Paris, Rouen, Rennes), Switzerland (Lausanne), Germany (Munich) and Singapore.[8]
In May 2020, the platform was used to test France's homegrown contact-tracing app StopCovid (later renamed TousAntiCovid).[9][10]
