BrokenApp

Investors

The inspection layer for the internet.

BrokenApp is building automated, evidence-backed security and quality assurance for every deployed web application. We're open to investment and acquisition conversations.

The opportunity

AI is writing more code than ever. Who's checking it?

AI coding tools are generating software at unprecedented scale. Claude Code, Codex, Copilot — every tool ships code faster. But faster code means faster bugs. The volume of deployed software is outpacing every team's ability to test it.

Manual QA doesn't scale. Bug bounty programs are expensive and inconsistent. Existing DAST tools produce noise, not signal. There is no automated, evidence-backed inspection layer for the internet — until now.

Our position

Built different. On purpose.

BrokenApp is a Rust CLI that ships as a single binary. No SaaS dashboard to maintain. No cloud infrastructure to scale. It runs locally, integrates with CI/CD, and produces structured, evidence-backed reports that AI tools can immediately act on.

This architecture means near-zero marginal cost per scan, built-in privacy compliance, and a distribution model that compounds through developer adoption — not enterprise sales cycles.

Market

Why now.

AI code explosion

AI-generated code is scaling faster than human review capacity. Every line needs automated inspection.

Regulation tightening

SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR enforcement increasing. Companies need continuous compliance evidence, not annual audits.

DevSecOps adoption

Security shifting left into CI/CD. Teams want CLI tools that integrate into existing pipelines, not separate dashboards.

API-first architectures

Every app is an API surface now. IDOR, BOLA, broken auth — the OWASP API Top 10 is the new attack surface.

Product

What we've built.

Full-app scanning

Headless browser crawling. Every route, form, endpoint, and asset. Structured JSON output with evidence.

IDOR / BOLA detection

Cross-user replay with N×N auth matrix. Body similarity scoring. Automatic severity classification.

Exposure scanning

18 compiled regex patterns. 22 active probes. Runs automatically on every scan. Secrets always masked.

Auth flow testing

Native Supabase and Firebase support. Login, session persistence, token refresh, logout invalidation.

Business logic testing

Step-skip detection via view-transition graphs. Replay attack detection for write endpoints.

GitHub integration

Auto-create issues. PR comments. SARIF export for Code Scanning. Close issues when findings resolve.

GraphQL support

Per-operation endpoint detection. Splits POST /graphql into individual queries and mutations.

Compliance mapping

CWE + OWASP Top 10 / API Top 10 on every finding. SOC 2 and PCI DSS report generation.

Baseline & triage

Blake3 fingerprinting. Mark accepted risk or false positive. Diff-aware rescans surface only new issues.

Business model

Free for distribution. Paid for power.

The free tier gives every developer a full scanner — enough to find real bugs and prove value. Pro ($79/mo) unlocks auth testing, baselines, and business logic scanning. Team ($249/mo/seat) adds GitHub integration, compliance mapping, and shared dashboards. Enterprise adds custom rules, SSO, managed scanning, and SLAs.

This model compounds: free users find bugs, generate reports, and share them. Every shared report is an organic distribution event. Bug bounty hunters using the free tier advertise the product through their submissions.
