In May 2025, Moesif was acquired by WSO2. Moesif operates as an independent subsidiary under WSO2's API Management Business Unit, with the Moesif brand and current product offering retained while its leadership continues to drive existing business and expand customer growth globally.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Moesif demonstrated strong product-market fit with enterprise customer traction (UPS, Sinch, UK Royal Mail), successful funding rounds raising $15.5M+, and 20%+ monthly revenue growth trajectory. However, acquisition by WSO2 in May 2025 shifts it from an independent growth story to a subsidiary, reducing standalone investment potential.
