Ex-DOGE Engineers Raise $130 Million for AI Security Startup Backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia

Three former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) engineers — Gavin Kliger, Luke Farritor, and Jack Stein — who previously helped slash the federal workforce under Elon Musk, are now raising $130 million from Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia Capital for a new AI security startup. The company aims to use artificial intelligence to secure government systems against national security threats, marking a pivot from cost-cutting to defense contracting.
