The Tech Trailblazer Awards has named ShiftLeft as one of the year’s best new companies.

Among the cohort of winners across 15 different categories and three regional awards, ShiftLeft was the first runner-up in the “Developer Trailblazers” category.

“We are honored to be recognized for our tremendous progress in applying property graphs to code security in a truly revolutionary and highly effective way,” said Stuart McClure, CEO of ShiftLeft. “The Tech Trailblazer Awards are a key indicator that we are on the right track, both with disruptive technology and visionary stakeholders. On behalf of the rest of the team, I could not be happier to have been spotlighted for this amazing distinction.”

The Tech Trailblazer Awards were held on December 6, celebrating companies in AI, big data, blockchain, cloud, containers, developer, infosecurity, internet of things, fintech, networking, storage, sustainable tech and telecoms.

Hosted by founder Rose Ross, the awards are open to all private companies under seven years old that are privately funded or VC backed (Series C or earlier). The event recognizes technological and commercial innovation and entrepreneurial excellence. Previous winners have gone on to substantial funding rounds, stock market offerings, and strategic acquisitions.
