100-word summary
Corridor just raised $25 million at a $200 million valuation from Felicis to build security tools specifically for AI-written code. The startup is betting that traditional security scanners miss the unique risks of code churned out by LLMs. Rather than bolting security onto finished software, Corridor embeds checks directly into developer tools where AI assistants generate code. The pitch: catch vulnerabilities at the moment of creation, not weeks later in review. As more teams let AI write entire functions and features, investors are wagering that yesterday's security playbook won't cut it for tomorrow's codebases.
