Founders
· Founded 2018 · San Francisco, California, United States
In 2017, Christina Cacioppo was a product manager at Dropbox, working on Dropbox Paper and enterprise collaboration tools. Whenever her team built an enterprise-facing feature, they encountered an enormous commercial barrier: enterprise procurement teams refused to sign contracts without rigorous SOC 2 security certifications. Seeing engineering and product momentum grind to a halt while teams manually gathered audit spreadsheets, Cacioppo realized that every B2B cloud software company on earth was wasting thousands of engineering hours on identical manual audit checklists. Partnering with former Dropbox engineer Matt Johnson, Cacioppo founded Vanta in 2018 and entered Y Combinator (W18). Instead of raising massive venture capital immediately, Cacioppo bootstrapped Vanta during its first two years, obsessively writing code, visiting audit firms, and personally onboarding early tech startups. By 2021, Vanta had achieved phenomenal product-market fit, generating tens of millions in ARR almost entirely through word-of-mouth recommendations among founders and CTOs. Sequoia Capital partner Andrew Reed led Vanta's $50M Series A in 2021, followed by a $110M Series B in 2022 and a $150M Series C in 2024 valuing the company at $2.45 billion.
Vanta was founded in 2018 by Christina Cacioppo, Matt Johnson in San Francisco, California, United States.
The founders established Vanta with the objective of solving core inefficiencies in Automated Security Compliance, Continuous Trust Management, Cloud Security Posture, Governance Risk & Compliance (GRC), Enterprise SaaS, laying the foundation for its current global scale.
Even as Vanta scales to $115M, the organization maintains the founders' commitment to innovation and customer-centric execution.
