## About

Founded in 2021 and based in the US, Manifest Cyber, Inc. operates as a provider of cybersecurity for software supply chains. Daniel Bardenstein (CTO) and Marc Frankel (CEO) are the co-founders of the company. In April 2025, Manifest Cyber, Inc. raised USD 15 million in series A funding led by Ensemble VC, with participation from Leap435, Overmatch, AE Industrial Partners, Homebrew, XYZ Ventures, First Round Capital, and an individual investor. The company specializes in assisting businesses by empowering them to improve their cybersecurity practises and make informed decisions by giving them insights into the software. Businesses can manage the creation, storage, and sharing phases of their software bill of material (SBOM) lifecycle with Manifest. The platform from Manifest automates certain components of the SBOM process without adding additional workload to the procurement, engineering, or security teams. It provides enterprise SBOM management, collects and safely stores SBOMs on a platform, and makes SBOM generation manageable. The platform eliminates the need for manual attachments by enabling the secure and selective exchange of SBOMs with clients and other parties. The company works with the US government as well as sectors like aerospace, healthcare, and defense. 

The company will use the April 2025 funding to promote software and AI supply chain transparency and expand into key sectors like financial services, healthcare, automotive, and defense.
