Security
Security startups we scout
We track early-stage security companies that remove friction instead of adding it, agentless, identity-first, runtime-aware.
The teams rewriting how security actually gets deployed
Security buyers are tired of tools that slow the business down. We look for founders attacking that head-on: protection that lands in days rather than quarters, works on unmanaged devices, and proves itself at runtime. When a team passes our hands-on testing, we open the door to the enterprises and service providers in our network who have that exact problem today.
- Deploys without an endpoint agent or a six-month rollout
- Evidence from real runtime behaviour, not build-time claims
- A founding team that has operated a security function, not just sold to one
Categories we track
Browser-native detection and response
Companies putting detection where work actually happens, with nothing to install on the endpoint.
Runtime cloud and AI protection
Teams that can show what workloads and models really do once they are live, not what they promised at build time.
Identity-first governance
Startups making least privilege, lifecycle and entitlement clarity workable across human and machine identities.

Other focus areas
AI startups we scout
We look for AI companies that let organisations use their own data without surrendering it, private deployments and agents that finish real work.
