Evertrace first detected a signal of company formation for co-founder Augustin Ponsin in June 2026. Ponsin was building Fleuret with Yanis Grigy after working in offensive security at ZF Group. The signal connected his security experience to a new company before its funding announcement.

What they're building

A penetration test usually captures a system at one moment. New deployments and changes can introduce weaknesses after the audit is finished.

Fleuret uses AI agents to test applications and infrastructure as they change. Its platform helps teams identify exploitable weaknesses, prioritise fixes and verify that the problems have been resolved.

The round

RAISE Ventures led the €4 million pre-seed, with participation from Auriga Cyber Ventures, Wind Capital, Better Angle and cybersecurity angels. The funding supports new hires in AI, engineering and security, alongside the continued development of the platform.
