Filigran is a French-founded, remote-first cybersecurity company that scaled from 15 to over 220 employees across 18 countries in under three years. Founded in October 2022 by Samuel Hassine and Julien Richard, the business combines experienced leadership, rapid hiring, and over $100 million in funding to expand globally. With more than 6,500 organisations using its platform, Filigran operates without a central headquarters, instead building distributed teams close to customers. Its model highlights how remote-first structures can support fast growth, international expansion, and coordinated work across regions without relying on a physical office.
