Our mission is to ensure a safer and more prosperous world by investing in the innovators protecting our digital future.
We combine a thesis-driven approach with hands-on experience backing and building great companies. As investors and operators with decades of expertise, we bring an unparalleled network and a proven track record of results.
Security is fundamental.
Software and systems must be secure. As technology and markets have evolved, we’ve broadened our focus to include critical adjacent categories (AI, Application, Data, Identity, Infrastructure, Intelligence, Risk Management, and Security Operations).
We’re specialists who understand market needs.
Some go wide, we go deep. We’re strategically focused and bring a disciplined approach to how we invest and help companies grow.
We invest early and build for success.
We make mostly Series A and B investments, and participate in select growth rounds. We know what it takes to achieve scale and become a market leader.
We’re hands on and involved.
We work hard to be your most important partner, sharing insights and connections with the help of our Advisory Council and global community.
