Socket provides supply chain security for open source dependencies, helping developers identify and manage vulnerabilities.
$60MSeries C
A $60M Series C for dependency scanning signals that supply chain security has moved from nice-to-have to table-stakes—enterprises are now willing to pay for it at scale. Socket's likely spending this on sales/GTM to land larger customers and building out detection capabilities faster than open source maintainers can patch. If you're building any developer tool that touches code quality, compliance, or deployment, watch how Socket positions itself as a gating layer—that's the playbook for owning a critical chokepoint.
