Critical Start

We are a cybersecurity team focused on one thing: stopping breaches and preventing business disruptions for our customers. Founded in 2012, we have grown from a small group of security professionals into a comprehensive Managed Detection and Response provider that combines human expertise with AI-assisted technology. Our Cyber Operations Risk & Response (CORR) platform powers everything we do, helping us deliver complete signal coverage and expert-led investigations around the clock. What sets us apart is our commitment to resolving every alert - not just the ones that look urgent. Our analysts work directly with customers to provide tailored threat response, detection tuning, and continuous security improvement. We do not believe in cookie-cutter solutions because we know every organization faces unique challenges. Whether it is protecting industrial environments, securing cloud infrastructure, or supporting Microsoft security deployments, we build relationships based on trust and measurable outcomes that actually reduce risk.

Software Mind

We're a global software development partner that's been around for over two decades, building teams and solutions that actually make a difference. Our engineers work across Europe and the Americas, helping companies figure out digital transformation without the usual chaos. We handle everything from cloud migrations and AI implementations to custom mobile apps and embedded software – not because we chase every trend, but because these are the tools we know work when they're applied thoughtfully to real business problems. What matters to us is the work itself: clean code, solid architecture, and solutions that scale. We've built cross-functional teams for financial services, telecom, biotech, and media companies who needed expertise they couldn't find in-house. Our people get to tackle interesting technical challenges – whether that's architecting microservices, implementing generative AI, or modernizing legacy systems – while growing their skills through training and hands-on experience. We believe in straightforward communication, continuous learning, and building software that creates genuine impact for our clients and their users.

Valor Software

In 2013, what started as a vision to build exceptional software solutions has evolved into Valor Software, a team of true engineers who refuse to be simply "coders." The company's founding insight was that deep technical expertise combined with genuine care for clients' business outcomes creates transformative partnerships. Initially known as Angular specialists in Ukraine, the team matured beyond single-technology constraints to embrace a wide spectrum of technologies and became a distributed international team of passionate professionals spread across the globe. Today, Valor Software delivers results, not excuses - specializing in consulting, product and solution delivery, and prototypes & discovery for startups, enterprises, and SMBs alike. Their engineering philosophy centers on being true experts who understand both the technical and business dimensions of every project. This expertise is evidenced through significant open-source contributions, including building the ngx-bootstrap library, contributing to NestJS framework, and creating Zephyr Cloud for Module Federation. With offices in the USA and UK, and a culture that values proactive involvement and continuous learning, Valor Software has grown from a local Angular hub into a multinational technology partner that helps clients navigate software performance challenges, technology integration complexities, and quality management with confidence.

Our team builds software that helps over 550,000 customers worldwide - including 67% of the Global 2000 - protect, manage, and understand their data.

Whether it's recovering from a ransomware attack or enabling safe AI at scale, our products are designed to keep businesses running no matter what comes their way. We move fast, we obsess over our customers' success, and we believe that data resilience isn't just a feature - it's the foundation of modern business.
