Employee cybersecurity awareness and phishing simulation platform
Riot builds a cybersecurity awareness platform targeting human vulnerability—the entry point for most breaches. The stack reveals a sales-first GTM (HubSpot, Lemlist, Sales Navigator) paired with modern backend infrastructure (Elixir, Phoenix, PostgreSQL, AWS), suggesting a product-led company scaling sales motion across geographies. Active projects show aggressive international expansion (Italy, Spain, France launches) while simultaneously building outbound orchestration tooling, indicating a shift from inbound product adoption toward direct sales at scale.
Riot provides cybersecurity awareness training and phishing simulation for mid-market and enterprise employees. The platform addresses a documented organizational pain point: employees remain the weakest link in cybersecurity defenses, and most companies struggle with engagement and retention in traditional awareness programs. Founded in 2020 and based in San Francisco, Riot employs 51–200 people with a sales-heavy department structure. Current focus spans product maturation (moving features from alpha to GA), geographic expansion (Italy, Spain, France), and building internal sales infrastructure to support rapid go-to-market execution.
Backend: Elixir, Phoenix, PostgreSQL, AWS, Terraform. Data: dbt, BigQuery, Airbyte, Fivetran, Looker. Frontend: Vue, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS. Sales/ops: HubSpot, Lemlist, Sales Navigator, Stripe. Monitoring: Datadog, Sentry.
