Sequoia backs Coana to help companies prioritise vulnerabilities using ‘code aware’ software analysis


Sequoia has invested in Coana, a young Danish startup building a next-gen "code aware" software composition analysis tool.

Silicon Valley venture capital (VC) juggernaut Sequoia is backing a fledgling Danish startup to build a next-gen software composition analysis (SCA) tool, one that promises to help companies filter through the noise and identify vulnerabilities that are a genuine threat. And this is where Danish cybersecurity startup Coana is setting out to make a difference, using “code aware” SCA to help its users separate out irrelevant alerts and focus only on those that matter.
