It has powered major competitions and serves many of the leading projects in Web3, supporting collaborative security reviews, public and private competitions, bug bounty programs, AI-driven code analysis, and a security operations center (SOC) that monitors, triages, and responds to live alerts and threats. Similar to how cloud-security startups emerged previously, Cantina aims to be the definitive code-security platform for the future.

Scientific progress in medicine is accelerating, but getting breakthroughs to patients remains slow and unreliable. Bringing a new drug to market takes 10 to 15 years and costs $2.6 billion on average. Even after FDA approval, too many eligible patients never receive treatment – caught in a system that wasn't built for the complexity of modern medicine. Most promising drugs never make it to market, and those that do reach only a fraction of the patients who could benefit. Forus is embedded into physician workflows, automating all steps between a clinical decision and a patient starting treatment — insurance authorization, financial assistance, and fulfillment routing — across every drug, payer, and pharmacy in the country, free for doctors and patients. Because we play an unprecedented role in moving prescriptions through the system, we provide life sciences companies unmatched insight into how medicines perform — enabling them to design better research, launch new drugs more effectively, and invest in harder-to-treat conditions. Our number one priority is scaling to market demand. We are looking for individuals who are high horsepower, high throughput, and hyper resourceful to help us unlock capacity and drive growth. We move fast and need to move faster.
