We would love to hear from founders building at the frontier of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.
Whether you are a founder seeking a first-check partner, a journalist covering the cybersecurity and AI space, or someone interested in our work — we welcome your message.
If you are pitching Ciphero Ventures, please include a brief description of your company, the problem you are solving, your team background, and your current stage and traction. We read every submission and respond to those that fit our thesis.
We invest exclusively at the seed stage — typically when a company has a founding team and early product, but before they have achieved significant revenue or product-market fit. We write first checks ranging from $1M to $5M.
Our investment mandate is focused on cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, including AI-native security tools, enterprise security infrastructure, threat intelligence, identity and access management, and applied AI platforms.
We aim to give founders an initial decision within two to three weeks of a first meeting. For companies that fit our thesis strongly, we can move faster. We prioritize clear, timely communication throughout the process.
