Gutsy, a cybersecurity startup, has raised $51 million in seed funding, the company said Tuesday. Founded in 2022 and now emerging from stealth, Gutsy wants to help companies solve their issues in the increasingly complicated and overwhelming world of cybersecurity. Based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Gutsy's cofounders previously built container security startup Twistlock, which was acquired for $410 million by Palo Alto Networks in 2019. The company provides cloud security tools for businesses to manage their data across auditing, governance, and migration, connected via an API. The company's massive $51 million seed funding round came from YL Ventures, a backer of Twistlock, and venture firm Mayfield, alongside a number of cybersecurity angel investors. "
