Snyk was worth $8.5 billion. The price of its employees' stock has collapsed.
Snyk, a once-hot cyber startup poised to go public, has dramatically marked down the value of its employees' shares as it faces AI competition.
Cybersecurity firm Snyk, once valued at $8.5 billion in 2021, has seen its employees' stock prices plummet to just $1.16 per share. The decline was largely attributed to the rise of AI tools in the industry. Snyk, headquartered in Boston, gained recognition for its vulnerability scanner that swiftly detects bugs in code.
