Who we are

Speed shouldn’t mean sacrificing security.

We help teams scale confidently with governance and compliance built in.
Our Story

From Startup Infrastructure to AI-Native GRC

FIRSTBLOX started from a simple observation: startups today face similar compliance and governance expectations as enterprise companies, but without the resources, time, or playbook to get there efficiently.

Having worked with both fast-moving startups and established enterprise teams, our founder saw first-hand how cloud complexity and compliance requirements can slow down the release of good ideas in the B2B market. The cost of getting it wrong, failed deals, delayed launches, investor concerns, was too high.

That's why we started FIRSTBLOX: to give technical teams the foundations and operational tooling they need to move quickly, meet enterprise standards, and stay focused on building their product.

We combine AI-native architecture with human-in-the-loop expertise to deliver what traditionally took months in weeks, without sacrificing security, compliance, or quality.
