Operators who came up
the hard way.
We are operators who have hunted hackers, secured the Fortune 50, and coded our own infrastructure. We've built, sold, and acquired companies, and we carry the scars to prove it.
Stephen Ward
Former CISO and operator turned investor. Learned cyber on the front lines, not in a boardroom, and built security programs the hard way at global scale.
Sven Wollschlaeger
Technical diligence in human form. Tears down endpoint architectures, writes custom code to hunt for founders, and never blindly takes the vendor's word for it.

Iva Messy
Runs the firm like the AI startups we fund: lean, automated, and allergic to bloat. Keeps the machine lethal so partners stay in the trenches.

Jamie Mneimneh
Builds our own AI scrapers and automation stack. Things that used to take 40 hours a week now run autonomously overnight.
Taylor Cleveland
The connective tissue. Makes sure no founder call goes unanswered and no commitment slips, because ride or die is an operating model, not a slogan.
Builders, buyers, and breakers.
Our bench of venture partners and advisors spans Fortune 50 CISOs, exited founders, and practitioners who know the cyber category from the inside out. They don't sit on a letterhead; they take founder calls.
