CyLon

What is CyLon?

CyLon is Europe's leading specialist early-stage investor focused exclusively on security and resilience. With a stated mission to support the development of next-generation cybersecurity solutions, CyLon leverages deep sectorial expertise and an extensive network to offer more than just financial backing.

Operating out of the UK, the firm positions itself not as a traditional venture capital fund, but rather as an entity that invests using personal capital. This approach aligns them closely with their portfolio founders, tailoring their involvement to the unique timelines and priorities of each startup. CyLon's team boasts credible national security experience combined with nearly a decade of engagement with enterprise security startups, providing a robust foundation for their investment decisions.

They pride themselves on being early backers of now-prominent companies such as Immersive Labs, Tessian, and emerging players in the UK, US, and Israel. The firm makes angel-sized investments and is focused on helping startups reach early-stage customers, engage with fellow investors, and establish vital long-term strategic relationships.

Their hands-on support has been acknowledged by their portfolio companies as instrumental in securing major customers, investors, and providing ongoing guidance in the cybersecurity space. Through their dedication, CyLon has contributed to substantial funding rounds for these companies, proving their commitment and acumen in identifying and nurturing cybersecurity talent.
