Summary
Dhruva Goyal is the founder and CEO of BugBase, a San Francisco–based startup reimagining offensive security with a pay-per-bug platform and an AI-driven product, Pentest Copilot, that automates deep red-team assessments. With nine years of experience spanning infosec, application development, and leadership, he combines hands-on exploit development (OSCE3/OSEP/OSWE, OSCP, CEH) with product and GTM ownership across tech, PM, sales, and investor relations. He has a competitive CTF background—helping his team rank 12th globally—and leverages that adversary mindset to find real-world vulnerabilities and build autonomous testing agents. A data science alumnus of IIT Madras, Dhruva is exploring the intersection of AI and cybersecurity to evolve BugBase toward an on-prem, continuously learning bug-hunting platform, and he balances his technical intensity with a personal interest in cars.
