Hoop.dev announced a seed investment led by Venture Guides and backed by Y Combinator. Founder and CEO Andrios Robert and his team of uncompromising engineers reimagined the access paradigm and ignited a global shift toward faster, safer application delivery.

Hoop.dev is an end-to-end access solution, with security-aware approval automation that cuts delivery time, enhanced granularity to give security control, and constant proof of compliance so developers and agents can ship faster without compromise.

“Every company today is under pressure to move faster while meeting stricter oversight,” said Andrios Robert, CEO of Hoop.dev. “The legacy approach slows engineers down and still leaves security gaps. We built Hoop to solve both problems. We give teams the power to control every action, automatically block every risky command, mask all their sensitive data, and capture all of their audit proof while drastically accelerating the pace of application delivery.”

Hoop.dev makes security invisible by embedding data protection controls directly into developer and agent workflows. Sensitive data is hidden automatically, approvals flow instantly through admin-friendly controls, and the result is faster delivery, higher reliability, and continuous proof of compliance.

“Hoop is that rare platform loved by developers, DevOps, security, and compliance alike,” said Anton Simunovic, Partner from Venture Guides. “As application velocity and coding agents increasingly send enterprise security over the edge, Hoop keeps everything on track, with secure, least-privilege, auditable access to databases and resources with no context switching for developers. Hoop allows faster innovation, and security by design.”
