Synqly
A San Jose startup providing a single unified API that lets security and IT vendors integrate with dozens of third-party tools without building custom connectors.

Synqly runs an “Integration as a Service” platform purpose-built for security and IT vendors: instead of each vendor building and maintaining bespoke connectors to every SIEM, ticketing system, cloud provider, or data source their customers use, they integrate once with Synqly’s unified API and inherit its library of pre-built, maintained integrations, along with monitoring and usage metrics to catch broken connections.
The problem is a real operational one: the average security team now manages on the order of 76 distinct security products, and each vendor in that stack independently maintains its own patchwork of integrations, a persistent source of engineering overhead and brittle connections that break silently.
Founded in San Jose in 2023 by Joel Bauman and Steve Erickson, Synqly raised a $4M seed round in October 2023 from SYN Ventures, Okta Ventures, and Secure Octane, and has grown to roughly two dozen employees as of mid-2026.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Shipped a working integration platform and grew to ~24 employees within roughly three years of founding on a single seed round, a steady but not exceptional pace.
Directly reduces integration-maintenance overhead for security vendors and, indirectly, integration fragility for the customers who rely on those connectors.
A $4M seed from strategic investors including Okta Ventures signals real interest, but no follow-on round or disclosed customer count has surfaced since 2023.
Integration-layer infrastructure is a useful plumbing improvement rather than a new security capability or category.
No independent case studies or named customer outcomes were found beyond the company's own description of the integration-fatigue problem it targets.
As long as security stacks keep growing in tool count, unified integration infrastructure remains a durable, if unglamorous, need.
Why CISOs Should Care
Reduces the operational risk of silently broken integrations between the many point tools a modern security stack depends on, without requiring a security team to build or maintain connectors itself.
What Makes It Different
Sells integration infrastructure to security and IT vendors themselves (a B2B2B model) rather than selling directly to enterprise security teams.
The Matrix Verdict
48/100 — EMERGING / UNRANKED
An Incremental Innovator: a genuinely useful piece of security-industry plumbing addressing a well-documented integration-fatigue problem, without evidence yet of outsized market disruption.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
The seed funding, investors, and founding team are independently verifiable via press coverage; the "76 tools per team" statistic and integration-efficacy claims originate from the company's own materials.
