Cyberstarts VC

About The Fund

Cyberstarts VC is an investment fund that focuses on empowering cybersecurity entrepreneurs and startups with the potential to redefine the cybersecurity landscape. They bring together industry expertise, financial support, and a network of seasoned entrepreneurs and professionals to nurture early-stage companies in the cybersecurity domain. Cyberstarts VC specializes in Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, and Series B investments, channeling their resources to support innovative ideas and transformative cybersecurity solutions. Their investment range spans from a minimum of $5,000 to a maximum of $50,000, with a sweet spot around $25,000 for ventures they believe hold the most promise. With $374,000,000 in assets under management, they have positioned themselves as the only venture capital fund backed by the world's most successful cyber entrepreneurs, which includes a collaborative network of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) committed to guiding and investing in the next generation of cybersecurity leaders. Cyberstarts takes pride in their ability to not only provide capital but also to offer invaluable mentorship from their founders, Gili Raanan and Lior Simon, who act as advisors rather than owners of the companies they invest in. Their approach is characterized by deep engagement at the critical early stages, helping to mitigate risk and set a course for long-term success. The fund's portfolio companies benefit from direct and meaningful interactions with CISOs, IT decision-makers, and influencers—connections that are often crucial for growth and development within the sector. Testament to their integral role in the startup ecosystem, founders in the Cyberstarts network openly commend the fund for its significant impact on their companies' trajectories, emphasizing the beyond-measure value of Gili and Lior's mentorship and the extensive professional network that Cyberstarts offers.
