Finite State joins forces with MergeBase to provide industry-leading SCA, AI-powered remediation, and a developer-centric approach for secure software development from build to runtime

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Finite State, Inc., the leader in comprehensive software risk management for the connected world, announced today the acquisition of MergeBase, a leading provider of software supply chain security solutions. This strategic move strengthens Finite State’s commitment to securing every aspect of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), improving security, visibility, and compliance across all digital environments, and empowering organizations to build and deploy more secure software and embedded systems.

“This acquisition allows us to offer a holistic security solution for the modern software supply chain with unparalleled flexibility and compatibility, ensuring that organizations can meet stringent regulatory requirements,” said Matt Wyckhouse, CEO of Finite State.

The combined solution brings unmatched software security from build to runtime. Leveraging the combined power of Finite State’s advanced binary analysis and MergeBase’s deep source code analysis, it delivers unmatched software supply chain visibility and risk protection throughout the SDLC. Best-in-class Software Composition Analysis (SCA) technology identifies vulnerabilities in proprietary, open-source, and 3rd-party code and generates detailed Software Bills of Material (SBOMs) for any software, firmware, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), and source code. Going beyond traditional SCA capabilities, MergeBase’s patented Runtime SCA extends this protection, providing continuous monitoring for applications and mitigating vulnerabilities after deployment. This application hardening approach uses AI to continuously learn and improve accuracy, allowing organizations to proactively address known vulnerabilities and reduce their attack surfaces by 60–70% over time.

“The integration of MergeBase into Finite State marks a significant step forward in addressing the security needs of embedded systems and critical software. Our combined offering leverages the best of both worlds: comprehensive binary analysis and top-tier source code security. This acquisition allows us to offer unparalleled flexibility and compatibility, ensuring that organizations can meet stringent regulatory requirements and protect their products more effectively than ever before. We are excited to lead the way in providing a holistic security solution for the modern software supply chain,” said Matt Wyckhouse, CEO of Finite State.

Building secure software from the start has become critical due to increasingly stringent regulatory mandates, which emphasize the importance of transparency and risk mitigation in software supply chains. The combined solution’s deep visibility and actionable insights into the entire software supply chain ensures compliance and enhances security from the start. This extensive insight, including vulnerability enrichment, remediation guidance, and prioritization data, seamlessly integrates into existing CI/CD pipelines, boosting developer productivity and accelerating secure software delivery.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Finite State. Together, we will set a new standard for software security. The benefits of integrating source code analysis and binary analysis will enhance our customers’ ability to identify and remediate vulnerabilities early, reducing false positives and leveraging runtime protections to minimize risks. This merger empowers us to provide a comprehensive solution that supports safe and secure software development lifecycles, ultimately protecting both national infrastructure and individual consumers,” said Oscar van der Meer, CEO of MergeBase.

This acquisition positions Finite State at the forefront of the rapidly growing application security market, projected to reach USD 55.0 billion by 2029 (MarketsandMarkets). With a focus on secure-by-design principles, the strategic merger will empower organizations to develop, deploy, and manage software with unparalleled confidence.

New tender offer capabilities connect equity management with real-time valuation data covering approximately 65,000 private companies with a combined estimated value of $9 trillion, laying the groundwork for future secondary marketplace capabilities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eqvista, a leading equity management and valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies, today announced the launch of company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, enabling private companies to organize structured liquidity events directly within their equity management platform. The launch also marks a step toward Eqvista’s planned secondary marketplace capabilities.

As companies stay private longer, employees and early investors face limited opportunities to sell their shares. Meanwhile, organizing liquidity events involves complex decisions around pricing, participant eligibility, approvals, and ownership changes.

Eqvista brings these processes together through a company-controlled tender offer workflow, supported by its equity management infrastructure and Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® technology.

“With Eqvista, private companies can help their employees and early investors turn their shares into cash, rewarding them for their contributions to the company,” said Tomas Milar, Founder and CEO of Eqvista. “We already help companies manage ownership and understand their value. Bringing tender offers into the same platform is a natural next step toward connecting equity management, valuation, and liquidity.”

Company-Controlled Tender Offers

Eqvista’s new capabilities allow companies to manage tender offers while maintaining control over participation, transaction terms, and ownership changes.

Key features include:

Cap table integration: Automatically record completed ownership changes.Participant controls: Define eligible buyers and sellers and offer windows.Allocation rules: Set transaction limits, pro rata allocations, and priorities.Integrated approvals: Manage approval requirements and rights of first refusal.Valuation-informed pricing: Reference Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® data when evaluating transaction pricing.

By integrating these processes, Eqvista aims to reduce the administrative complexity of organizing liquidity events while helping companies maintain control over their shareholder base.

Building Toward a Secondary Marketplace

Building on its company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, Eqvista plans to expand into secondary marketplace infrastructure designed to support structured, company-approved liquidity programs. By connecting ownership records, real-time valuation data, and private share transactions within one platform, Eqvista aims to make private market liquidity more accessible while allowing companies to maintain control over participation and ownership changes. Further details will be announced as development progresses, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
