Sadeddin sold his risk data startup Riskopy to Coupa, ran payments products there, and now leads Corgea, which finds logic flaws in code and writes the fixes developers merge.
Ahmad Sadeddin is the founder and CEO of Corgea, a San Francisco, California, company that scans code for vulnerabilities, including business logic and authentication flaws, and writes fixes developers can apply.
Building a Risk Data Startup
A Jordanian national, he trained in insurance and risk, earning a master's degree in insurance and risk management at MIB School of Management in Italy, according to The National. Riskopy, a company he founded, collected data that helped companies judge the risk of their suppliers and business partners.
Moving to the US After the Coupa Deal
In May 2017 Coupa acquired Riskopy to add its data engine to Coupa's spend management platform, and he moved to the United States that year. He stayed at Coupa for several years and spent his last three leading its payments product, where keeping the software secure was part of the job, according to his Y Combinator profile.
Starting Corgea in 2023
He founded Corgea in June 2023, his third startup, and took it through Y Combinator's Summer 2023 batch. He has argued that older scanners built on fixed rules miss many of the bugs attackers use, so Corgea uses AI models to read how an application works and to propose the code change that closes each hole.
Alongside its US customers, the company has signed clients in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and he has said he plans to open a development center in Jordan.
