Perly 🦈

Hi I’m Perly At 16 I was the third largest artist on Pinterest Was published in two nation-wide anthologies for art And one for poetry Worked with top creators and brands like stabilo Then I quit art Switched to cybersecurity And at 18 I beat 750+ industry professionals at my first CTF with Target Then 100 more at AWS Now idk what I’m gonna do next, but I’ve met the coolest ppl doing crazy things who inspire me to try and take a swing (and monetize it this time lol🥲) + best of all, I make art again

@0xTib3rius Oooh

Stream soon where we just get Claude Code agents to solve hacking labs? 🤔

@super8n @hthieblot @imjennywen I’m sorry WHAT

@hthieblot @imjennywen hey! i filmed this next vid will be about our new york campus

In 2026, I’m inviting 1,000 founders to San Francisco to start their companies. Are you in?

@_Shark_byte come break it Perly 💪🏻 github.com/pensarai/apex

Our autonomous pentesting agent just outperformed the two most popular open source offensive security agents on a benchmark of 60 modern, defense-enabled web apps. Battle-tested in production against our customers' environments from startups to financial institutions, Apex consistently finds and exploits critical vulnerabilities other agents and humans miss. Today we're releasing it open source alongside our internal benchmarks.

@ianlivingstone 🙌

@_Shark_byte Would love to show you!

Incredibly excited to announce Keycard for Coding Agents - no more copy & pasting credentials or approving individual tool calls. Agents get task-scoped access, so you can stay in flow and actually build. You’re only pulled in when it matters. Yolo mode, without compromise.

@dkilledhisnani @velocityeleven @645ventures Super cool!

Just hosted a private deeptech dinner in NYC with @velocityeleven + @645ventures. The room was filled with founders building across BCIs, neuromorphic computing, defense, and bio, and as a whole, working at the edge of what’s physically possible. As the conversation unfolded, a common set of constraints kept coming up: signal fidelity, scale, regulation, data. What stood out most, though, wasn’t technical. We wanted to share a question from the conversation here: “What’s your dream beyond what you’re building?”

@Xbow @dfjgrowth @northzoneVC Insane omgg

Technology proven ✅ Market fit proven ✅ Now it’s time to SCALE 🏹🚀 Together with @dfjgrowth and @northzoneVC, we just announced a $120M funding round, valuing XBOW at over $1B. Our Autonomous Hacker was trained by elite human security experts. In 2025, we proved it can safely and effectively operate in real production environments. Today, over 100 customers worldwide already trust XBOW to protect their most critical assets. As AI allows attackers to move faster, defenders need the same continuous speed and capabilities. This milestone allows us to bring autonomous offensive security to the entire industry at the exact moment it’s needed most. Read more: bit.ly/4lA033O

@jackhcable @corridor @felicis Congrats 🥳

Today we're announcing @Corridor's $25M Series A led by @Felicis. More code will be written this year than ever before. At Corridor, securing AI coding at the source, enabling companies to their development without security being a blocker. 🧵

@0xLupin Congrats!!

WE DID IT ! WE RAISED $5.9M PRE-SEED 🥳🎉🎉

@hiiinternet 👀

Who else is around soho I should meet?

@nicholaschen__ Thanks :)

@_Shark_byte super pretty

nyc - shot on iPhone

@Jr0dR87 lol

@_Shark_byte I can break stuff just fine. Fixing is a different story.

Get ahead of 99% of ppl in cybersecurity in just TWO simple steps > break stuff > fix said stuff
