Investment thesis

Cyberstarts believes that entrepreneurs who have faced major challenges make the strongest founders. The firm applies a systematic process to uncover the most pressing and urgent problems in cybersecurity, then backs companies addressing them. A distinctive part of its model is an extensive network of CISOs, which portfolio companies leverage to reach rapid product-market fit and validate their solutions with real buyers early in their journey.
