ZAST.AI Raises $6M to Chase the Unicorn Dream of “Zero False Positive” Code Security

Oh bloody fantastic, another startup rolling in venture cash trying to “solve” a problem we’ve all been bitching about for years. ZAST.AI, apparently the next big messiah in AI-driven code security, just snagged a shiny $6 million Pre-A round to “scale” their magical “zero false positive” tech. Yeah right, because nothing says “trust us” like putting “zero” and “AI” in the same bloody sentence.

Their claim to fame? Some big-brained machine learning pixie dust that supposedly scans your code and flags only the “real” security issues. No noise, no false alarms—because that’s always how these fairy tales start before the platform lights up your dashboard like a bloody Christmas tree full of “critical” but totally harmless alerts.

Investors, bless their greedy hearts, are drooling over this “product-led” model like it’s the second coming of sliced code reviewers. Oh yes, the founders are talking scalability, developer-centric workflows, and trusted AI-driven pipelines. Meanwhile, the rest of us sysadmins, analysts, and security folks know that “zero false positives” means one thing: they’ve just trained it to ignore half the shit that actually matters. Brilliant.

But hey, $6 million sure does buy a lot of marketing bandwidth and LinkedIn humblebrags. Good luck to them—may their servers go down at 3 AM the night before launch, just for the poetic balance of the universe.

Reminds me of the time a developer swore our “self-healing” monitoring system would never panic. The damn thing crashed harder than a drunk driver at a data center. Some people never learn.
