About Huntress

What it is

Huntress is a cybersecurity company headquartered at 6996 Columbia Gateway Drive in Columbia, Maryland. It describes itself as founded by former NSA cyber operators, and its stated mission is to shatter the barriers to enterprise-level security. Its products are managed services: software paired with a 24/7 security operations center (SOC) whose analysts, assisted by an AI engine called Athena, investigate alerts and respond to threats.

Products

Managed EDR for endpoint detection, response and remediation.
Managed ITDR for identity threats such as account takeover and business email compromise in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Managed SIEM for log collection, retention, search and compliance reporting.
Managed SAT for security awareness training.
Managed ISPM for continuous hardening of Microsoft 365 and identity settings.

Huntress reports protecting more than 285,000 businesses. Product details are on the platform page.

Pricing and how to buy

Huntress publishes per-unit pricing on its pricing page, priced by endpoints, identities, learners and data sources, with rates that fall as volume rises. For example, it lists Managed EDR at an MSRP of $8.99 per endpoint per month. Managed service providers have no Huntress-required seat minimum and are billed monthly in arrears; resellers and direct buyers face a 50-seat minimum per product. The standard term is 12 months, and free trials use the full product including SOC support. A small startup without 50 seats may find it simpler to buy through an MSP.

A DMV startup story

Huntress's own company timeline is a useful case study for local founders. In 2015 it was accepted into the Mach37 accelerator with a $50,000 investment. It raised a $750,000 seed round in 2017, an $18 million Series A in 2020, a $40 million Series B in 2021, a $60 million Series C in 2023 and a $150 million Series D in 2024, the year it reached $100 million in annual recurring revenue. Its early go-to-market ran through the MSP channel, starting with its first MSP trade show in 2016.

Why it matters to DMV founders

Huntress is not a startup support organization. For founders, it is a security vendor option for protecting a young company, a regional cybersecurity employer, and an example of a company that went from an accelerator investment of $50,000 to $100 million in annual recurring revenue in under a decade.
