Another set of EasyA hackathon winners also known as ‘gigabrains’ are headed to Y Combinator.
Artemiy Malyshau and Jeevan Juttla attended their first EasyA x Polkadot hackathon nearly two years ago, where they first started experimenting with the ideas that would later become Gecko Sec.

As they continue to develop their groundbreaking software, they’re working on rolling this out for teams building on Polkadot.
Writing code that is secure and safe is one of the biggest concerns for Web 3.0 developers, with many millions of dollars spent on security audits every month in Web 3.0 alone.
EasyA gigabrains Jeevan Jutla and Artemiy Malyshau credit EasyA with helping them get off the ground and giving them the inspiration to succeed.
Artemiy Malyshau, co-founder of Gecko Sec, said,
“What started off at an EasyA hackathon has led to us getting backed by Y Combinator. Big shout-out to Phil and Dom for pushing us out of our comfort zone and getting us here.”
Jeevan Juttla and Artemiy Malyshau have also got highly accomplished professional and educational backgrounds.
