## Executive Summary

Backline asks enterprises to let AI agents write production-ready fixes and open the pull requests, and its trust answer is a founding team that has done this twice before. Maor Goldberg, Eran Leib, and Aviad Chen built and sold two prior security companies together, Whitebox Security to SailPoint and Apolicy to Sysdig, a verifiable repeat-builder record, while public proof points for the product stay few. Four customers, including Arkose Labs, vouch on the record. The durable edge is the founders, because the rest is reproducible: no barrier is evidenced that would keep a rival with the same scanner findings from building equivalent playbooks, and the scanner vendors whose findings Backline reads could extend into remediation themselves and already own the buyer relationship.
