Two of our co-founders were hackers before we started the company.

You can learn about our founder’s story in this article in the NYT from last summer: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/08/technology/hackerone-connects-hackers-with-companies-and-hopes-for-a-win-win.html?_r=0

We encourage all of our employees to be users on the platform and to hack companies when there is no business conflict.

We don’t feel it is a black or white answer here. New hackers can’t get better if they don’t have access to new, challenging programs. We try to have our new programs utilize our best, most experienced hackers as well as our up and coming hackers. Combatting noise is one of our top challenges and we feel that educating hackers and developing their skill set(s) will lead to many more satisfied new programs.

Neal Poole is a great example of this. He was a bug bounty hunter who got hired by Facebook. https://nealpoole.com/blog/about/

Always cheese. Always.
