The Company

Modern software runs on open source, and managing the compliance, security, and regulatory complexity that comes with it is one of the biggest problems facing engineering and legal teams today. FOSSA is the platform they use to address these challenges. We help thousands of organizations automate license compliance, prioritize vulnerabilities, generate and operationalize SBOMs, and meet regulatory requirements. Whether it’s scanning AI-generated code for IP risks or helping a company through M&A due diligence, FOSSA gives teams the confidence to ship software they trust.

FOSSA is a rapidly growing Series B company with a truly distributed team. While our roots are in San Francisco, our growing team has members in several countries across many time zones. We’re always working to find the perfect balance of effective approaches to distributed work, while maintaining the direct personal connections that help us work better together and love our jobs.
