Cyber Fund I
Paladin’s investment focus since 2008 has been on supporting companies that address vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure.
Cyber Fund I was Paladin’s first fund dedicated to developing cyber security products, services and technologies. The 2016 fund’s portfolio companies offer solutions that strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructure, ensuring that it can be trusted at times of crisis and at rest.
Paladin’s investment team has invested around the globe in 21 companies at multiple stages, from series A to E. With five exits already completed, the fund has supported a range of category leaders, including managed detection and response service provider, Expel, and safe software development platform, Secure Code Warrior.
Paladin brings a unique ability to bridge the public and private sectors
Founded in 2001 shortly after the 9/11 attacks, Paladin Capital Group was one of the first investors to recognize the need for coordination between international private and public sectors to support technologies with a security-by-design mindset.
By combining our proven investment experience with deep expertise in global security, cyber technology and cutting-edge research, we create an information advantage that adds value across many market sectors and company stages. Our core strength is identifying, supporting and investing in innovative companies that develop promising, early-stage technologies to address the critical cyber and advanced technological needs of both commercial and government customers. For more than two decades, this unique approach has enabled us to be a trusted partner to investors, entrepreneurs and governments.
Since 2008, we’ve invested in more than 60 companies across North America, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East, including promising cybersecurity and deep technology companies. Our portfolio includes companies such as CalypsoAI, the first monitoring suite to validate, explain and secure artificial intelligence and machine learning systems used by the U.S. Air Force and Navy; Hack The Box, the fastest growing hacking playground and cybersecurity community in the world; and Expel, a managed detection and response (MDR) provider that defends against ransomware, phishing and other emerging threats.
