WireGuard-based Zero Trust VPN replacement with peer-to-peer connections 3-4x faster than traditional VPN; $1M ARR with 7-person team competing with Tailscale and Cloudflare Access.
Firezone is a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and VPN replacement platform built on WireGuard — providing fast, secure remote access that's 3-4x faster than traditional VPNs through encrypted peer-to-peer connections with NAT traversal (holepunching) technology, automatic failover, and identity-based access control. Founded in 2021 and backed by Y Combinator, Firezone raised $2.91 million, reaching $1 million in revenue in 2024 with a 7-person team and launching Firezone v1.0 after 200%+ active user base growth in 2023.\n\nFirezone's architecture uses WireGuard's state-of-the-art VPN protocol (fast, secure, minimal attack surface) with a management layer that handles the enterprise requirements: SSO integration with Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace for identity-based access policies, automated certificate management, split tunneling for selective routing, and the holepunching technology that enables direct encrypted connections between clients and resources without traffic routing through central servers (eliminating the bandwidth bottleneck of hub-and-spoke VPN architectures).\n\nIn 2025, Firezone competes in the ZTNA and secure remote access market with Cloudflare Access, Tailscale (the most popular WireGuard-based mesh VPN), and traditional enterprise VPN vendors (Cisco AnyConnect, Palo Alto GlobalProtect) for enterprise remote access. The ZTNA market has grown as security teams recognize that traditional VPN architectures (where authenticated users get broad network access) don't align with Zero Trust security principles that assume breach and minimize lateral movement. Firezone's open-source version builds developer adoption and trust, while the commercial version provides enterprise management and support. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing enterprise deployments, deepening access policy granularity, and positioning as the cost-effective alternative to premium ZTNA products.
Digital construction safety management platform for contractors enabling mobile safety inspections, incident reporting, and compliance documentation; replaces paper forms to create auditable records and reduce regulatory and legal exposure.
BuildSafe is a Stockholm-based construction safety management platform that digitizes safety inspections, incident reporting, risk assessments, and compliance documentation for construction contractors and project owners. The company was founded on the observation that construction remains one of the most injury-prone industries globally, yet safety management processes at many construction firms still rely on paper forms, spreadsheets, and email—creating documentation gaps that expose workers to risk and companies to regulatory and legal liability. BuildSafe provides a mobile-first platform that enables foremen and safety managers to conduct digital safety rounds, log near-misses and incidents, manage action items, and generate audit-ready safety reports from the job site.\n\nBuildSafe's inspection and observation workflows are configurable to the specific risk profiles of different construction activities—scaffolding, heavy lifting, excavation, electrical work, and confined space entry each carry distinct hazard profiles requiring tailored checklists. The platform allows safety managers to create custom inspection templates aligned with national safety regulations and company-specific standards, and tracks completion rates and outstanding corrective actions across multiple job sites simultaneously. When a hazardous condition is observed or an incident occurs, BuildSafe routes the report to the appropriate responsible party with automated follow-up reminders until the corrective action is documented as resolved.\n\nBuildSafe operates primarily in the European market, where construction safety regulation is increasingly stringent under EU directives and national frameworks, and has particular strength in the Nordic countries where construction digitalization has advanced rapidly. The company targets mid-market and large general contractors, infrastructure developers, and public sector project owners. BuildSafe competes with Assignar, Salus Technologies, and Procore's safety module in the construction safety management software segment, differentiating on its European regulatory alignment and its mobile-first design for field-based safety teams.
