Command the High Ground in Cybersecurity
We're building the first AI-native platform that understands your security environment, recommends non-biased solutions validated by real practitioners, and streamlines procurement through your preferred partners — at zero cost to you.
The Cybersecurity Procurement System Is Fundamentally Broken
It fails both sides of the market. CISOs are drowning in vendor noise. Vendors are burning cash on go-to-market. No efficient, non-biased marketplace connects them.
4,000+ Vendors Competing for Attention
Cold outreach, trade shows, and pay-to-play analyst reports create overwhelming noise. CISOs can't find signal.
Biased Rankings Masquerading as Truth
Gartner, Forrester, and G2 are vendor-funded. Analyst fees, not product merit, determine visibility.
Months Lost to Evaluation Cycles
Demos, POCs, and reference calls consume months — while your team is stretched thin defending against real threats.
Channel Onboarding Takes 6–12 Months
Vendors spend millions trying to break into VAR channels. Legal, technical, and business development friction kills momentum.
From Discovery to Procurement in Four Steps
StormKing collapses a process that typically takes 6–12 months into a structured, AI-guided experience that respects your time and the integrity of the selection process.
Map Your Environment
Structured intake maps your security stack, threat landscape, compliance requirements, and priorities. Future integrations will provide additional context automatically. Your data stays protected.
AI Matching Engine
Our matching methodology evaluates fit across key dimensions — technical compatibility, compliance alignment, peer validation, and deployment feasibility. Structurally non-biased.
Verified Recommendations
Vendors scored by evidence-based metrics, verified customer outcomes, and structural separation from commercial influence. See exactly why a vendor was recommended. No pay-for-placement.
Transact Through Partners
Purchase flows through your preferred channel partner. Vendors leverage existing procurement agreements. Our goal: collapse a 6–12 month onboarding process into a streamlined sign-up.
Rigorous by Design, Transparent by Default
Most cybersecurity recommendations are influenced by who's paying. Ours won't be. We're developing a scoring methodology built on four non-negotiable principles. A full public methodology document will be published as we move toward general availability.
Formula-Based Scoring
Every vendor score will be computed algorithmically. No human assigns scores. No editorial discretion. The same formula applies whether you're a Fortune 500 vendor or a 10-person startup.
Evidence-Weighted
Claims without evidence will receive zero weight. Verified customer outcomes, third-party audit results, and real deployment data are designed to drive every recommendation.
Recency-Decayed
A five-year-old deployment success should matter less than one from last quarter. Our scoring will apply time-decay so recommendations reflect the current landscape.
Structurally Non-Biased
StormKing holds zero equity in any vendor it recommends. Equity earned through performance is held in a separate entity. The operating platform has no financial incentive to favor anyone.

Stop Being Sold To. Start Being Matched.
Your security environment is unique. Your vendor selection process should be too. StormKing gives you a trusted, non-biased vantage point to evaluate and acquire the right solutions.
Stop Burning Cash on GTM. Start Closing Deals.
Pay nothing until a CISO buys from you through our platform. Our goal: streamlined access to enterprise procurement channels — designed to significantly reduce the 6–12 month channel onboarding process.

The GTM Equity Swap
A typical Series A startup spends $10–14M on GTM funded by VC money that cost 20–30% dilution. StormKing offers 1–2% equity (milestone-based, after proven revenue) for qualified CISO access that closes deals.
No One Else Combines All Five

The Relationships to Cold-Start This Platform Already Exist
Jason Schaaf
CEO & Co-Founder
25+ years in cybersecurity sales leadership. The entire go-to-market strategy — CISO network, VC relationships, channel partnerships, vendor pipeline — is built on relationships Jason has cultivated over decades.
Yasaf Burshan
CTO & Co-Founder
Deep technical expertise and Israeli cybersecurity ecosystem connections. Owns the platform architecture, AI/ML matching engine design, product development, and technical team building.
The Origin Story
Jason joined CyberX as CRO, transformed the go-to-market, and enabled a $165M Microsoft acquisition — and in the process saw firsthand how broken the cybersecurity go-to-market system was. StormKing is the answer to what he learned doing it the hard way.
A New Kind of Cybersecurity Portfolio
StormKing Capital, LLC is a separate equity accumulation vehicle that holds all equity stakes earned through vendor performance on the platform. This structural separation guarantees non-bias — the operating company has no ownership stakes in any vendors it recommends.
