10 teams will shape Robochicken. Yours could be one.
Bring a real backlog and honest feedback. Applications close December 15, 2026.
- Built inside Yembo’s ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II program. See the trust center
- Monitors hundreds of CVEs a week at Yembo
- From a CTO with 31 granted US patents
- A fix only counts once the re-scan confirms it
You get Robochicken through 2027 at half price, and we get the truth about our fixes
What you get
- One payment in 2026 covers the Scale plan, 60 pull requests a month, through December 31, 2027.
- Every fix confirmed by re-running the attack that found it, so the proof is ready when your auditor asks.
- 50 percent off retail, and most favored: nobody pays less for the same service.
- Featured in my keynotes, on LinkedIn, and on this site, as much or as little as you want.
- A direct line to me, not a support queue, and a vote on which finding types and languages we support next.
What we ask
- Connect one real repository with real, open scanner findings.
- Review the pull requests honestly, including the ones you reject, and tell us why.
- Join a 30-minute call every two weeks during the six-week alpha.
The price, and how it compares with retail, is on the pricing page .
You own your data, your source code, and your IP. A data processing agreement and subprocessor list are signed with Worthwhile Adventures LLC, my company, before anyone touches your code.
The best partners have a backlog and an audit date
You’re a fit if
- You’re a software company of roughly 50 to 500 people.
- You run a DAST scanner or AI pentest that reports findings through an API, and its findings outpace your fixes.
- Your code is on GitHub or GitLab.
- You’re working toward or holding SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
- Nobody on the team does application security full time.
It’s too early for us if
- You have no scanner yet. Start there, and come back when it finds things.
- A new vendor takes more than a quarter to clear procurement.
- Most of your findings live in languages outside the ones we support today.
Six weeks to find out whether it earns a place in your pipeline
-
Week 1
Connect a repository and your scanner. Robochicken clears your oldest critical and high findings first.
-
Weeks 2 to 6
Fixes arrive as your scanner finds things. We meet every two weeks to go through what you merged, what you rejected, and why.
-
Week 6
We review the numbers together against the targets below, and publish them either way. If we miss them, your access extends six months at no cost. Then the fixes keep coming.
The targets we’re holding ourselves to, and will publish either way
- 70%
- of pull requests merged without a developer editing them
- < 24h
- from a validated finding to a tested fix in review
- 100%
- of merged fixes confirmed by a re-scan
Apply in three minutes, and hear back either way
These questions are how I pick ten teams Robochicken can help on day one. There are no wrong answers. If Robochicken can’t help you yet, I’ll tell you why.
Design partner questions
- What does a Robochicken design partner get?
- Robochicken design partners pay once, in 2026, and get the Scale plan through December 31, 2027, with 60 pull requests a month and each one past that billed at the Scale overage rate of $60. That is half of what a year of Scale costs at retail, set out on the pricing page, and it is most favored: no customer pays less for the same service. Partners work directly with founder Zach Rattner, and those who want it are featured in his keynotes, on LinkedIn, and on this site.
- What does Robochicken ask of design partners?
- Robochicken asks design partners to connect a real repository with real scanner findings, review its pull requests honestly, and join a 30-minute feedback call every two weeks during the alpha.
- Who is a good fit for the Robochicken design partner program?
- The best fit is a software company of roughly 50 to 500 employees that runs a DAST scanner or AI pentest, keeps its code on GitHub or GitLab, works toward SOC 2 or ISO 27001, and has no dedicated application security team.
- How many design partners will Robochicken accept?
- Robochicken is accepting ten design partners for its first cohort, which closes on December 15, 2026, or sooner if all ten spots fill. Applications are reviewed in the order they arrive, and each applicant hears back either way.
- Who owns the code and data a Robochicken design partner shares?
- The design partner keeps ownership of its data, source code, and intellectual property. A data processing agreement and subprocessor list are signed with Worthwhile Adventures LLC, the company founded by Zach Rattner that sells Robochicken, before Robochicken touches any code.
- Which AI model reads our code, and where does it run?
- The AI model provider is named in the subprocessor list that Worthwhile Adventures LLC provides with the data processing agreement, before a repository is connected, so a security team can review it before granting access. Each patch is written and tested in a container that is thrown away after the run, and Robochicken never merges its own work.
- Does Robochicken need write access to the repository?
- Robochicken needs permission to read the repository and to push a branch and open a pull request. It never merges, so a team’s branch protection and code review stay in control of what ships.
- Is the design partner payment refundable?
- No. Design partners are funding the build, so the payment is final. If the six-week alpha misses its published targets, access extends six months, to June 30, 2028, at no cost. In return for the payment, partners get a most-favored price through the end of 2027, a direct line to founder Zach Rattner, and a say in which finding types and languages Robochicken supports next.
