KANSAS CITY, MO – September 23, 2026 – Tenfold Security, a Kansas City-based cybersecurity company, has been named one of 25 finalists in Pepperdine Graziadio Business School’s 2026 Most Fundable Companies® competition, emerging from a field of more than 2,100 participating companies.
Tenfold advanced through multiple rounds of evaluation before reaching the final round of the national competition. The process included detailed reviews of the company and its business model, followed by a final interview with members of Pepperdine's judging team.
"Making it to the final 25 from a field of more than 2,100 companies is an incredible milestone for Tenfold. We started this company in Kansas City with a belief that there was a fundamentally better way to approach cybersecurity. Five years later, having an organization like Pepperdine put Tenfold through this level of scrutiny and recognize us as a finalist is meaningful validation of what our team has built."
- Aaron Weissenfluh | Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Tenfold Security
Founded in Kansas City in 2021 by cybersecurity executives Aaron Weissenfluh and Jon Broek, Tenfold Security was created to provide organizations with advanced cybersecurity capabilities without requiring them to build and maintain large internal security teams.
Tenfold provides cybersecurity services and technology to organizations across financial services, higher education, legal, government, retail, insurance and technology sectors. Its capabilities include continuous penetration testing, managed security operations, cybersecurity risk management and other services designed to continuously identify and reduce security risk.
The company remains overwhelmingly founder- and employee-owned and has grown from its Kansas City headquarters to serve organizations throughout the United States and internationally.
"We built Tenfold around the idea that cybersecurity shouldn’t be something organizations evaluate once a year and then put on a shelf. Security needs to be continuous. Our team has spent the last five years building the technology and services to make that possible, and reaching the finals of this competition is an important recognition of that work."
- Jon Broek | Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tenfold Security
Pepperdine Graziadio Business School’s Most Fundable Companies program evaluates participating companies through a rigorous multi-round process intended to assess their readiness for private investment.

Kansas City Roots, National Ambitions
For Tenfold, the recognition also represents an opportunity to highlight Kansas City’s growing technology and cybersecurity community.
“We’re proud that this company was built in Kansas City,” Weissenfluh said. “As a third generation Kansas City native, I’m extraordinarily proud of the security talent here. We’ve always believed we can build something in Kansas City that competes nationally and internationally. Being one of 25 companies to reach the finals out of more than 2,100 participants is another indication that we’re headed in the right direction.”
