The short story
In 2022, three of us got tired of submitting reports into platforms that ghosted us for 90 days, then closed the ticket as "informational." We started HuntBug in a Brooklyn apartment with a single rule: the clock is always visible.
Today HuntBug runs 347 programs, has paid out $3.8M to researchers, and triages a median report in 8 hours 12 minutes.
What we believe
- Severity is locked at acceptance. No haggling six weeks later.
- Hunters keep 100% of the bounty. The platform fee is the platform fee.
- Triage is a clock, not a vibe.
- Responsible disclosure means safe harbor — not legal threats.
Team
30 humans across 9 timezones. Engineering, triage, and customer-success roles always open at huntbug.com/careers.
Investors
Backed by 40+ angel researchers who took equity instead of bounties.
