Cybersecurity & Trust
Venture Syndicate
Investing in the Infrastructure of Digital Trust
Who Is This For?
Cyber is at a breaking point. AI agents, multi-cloud sprawl, and identity fragmentation have radically expanded the attack surface—and the stakes. What was once a sleepy corner of enterprise IT is now its most urgent, M&A-hungry, and innovation-rich category. This syndicate is for investors and operators who want to back the next $10B+ cybersecurity winner before the rest of the market sees it coming. We focus on founders solving real budget-line problems for CISOs—prevention, detection, response, governance, and frontier threats. If you’re a security leader, repeat founder, or sharp capital looking to earn allocation in top-tier early-stage deals, you’re in the right place. We’ve already built the relationships. Now we’re building the practice.
