About the Aikido Security program
Aikido Security offers startups a discount of up to 30% on its security platform, which scans code, dependencies, secrets, containers and cloud accounts and adds runtime protection. On the startup page the condition is that you have raised less than $1.5M in funding or are a nonprofit organization. Aikido's pricing page adds a second condition for startups, fewer than 10 team members, and says all nonprofits are eligible.
You request the discount through the form on the startup page, and Aikido follows up. Aikido does not state how the exact percentage is set, how long it lasts, or which plans it applies to.
Aikido's Free plan needs no credit card, so you can connect repositories and see scan results before applying.
