Cyberstarts is a venture capital firm founded in 2018 by Gili Raanan, focusing exclusively on early-stage cybersecurity startups. The firm operates a unique model, known as the "Sunrise" methodology, which involves close collaboration with founding teams from the inception of their companies. This approach emphasizes identifying and addressing critical pain points within the cybersecurity sector, guiding startups from product ideation to achieving product-market fit and beyond.

Cyberstarts is distinguished by its entrepreneur-backed funding structure, with investors comprising some of the most successful figures in the cybersecurity industry, including Shlomo Kramer of Cato Networks, Imperva, and Check Point, Marius Nacht of Check Point, Nir Zuk from Palo Alto Networks, Udi Mokady from CyberArk, Nir Polak of Exabeam, and Michael Shaulov of Fireblocks. These investors provide strategic counsel to portfolio companies, offering guidance on product development, market positioning, and talent acquisition. The firm's portfolio includes notable companies such as Fireblocks, Wiz, Transmit Security, Island, and Noname Security.

Cyberstarts has demonstrated strong financial performance, with its first fund generating annual returns of 170% since its inception in 2018. In February 2022, the firm closed a $200 million Opportunity Fund to support follow-on investments in its portfolio companies. Later that year, in August 2022, Cyberstarts raised an additional $60 million for Seed Fund III, bringing its total assets under management to $374 million.

This fund is dedicated to investing in early-stage cybersecurity companies, further solidifying Cyberstarts' commitment to nurturing the next generation of cybersecurity innovators.
