About the firm

SYN Ventures is a venture capital firm dedicated to investing in disruptive and innovative security companies across sectors such as cybersecurity, industrial security, national defense, privacy, regulatory compliance, and data governance. Founded and led exclusively by former Fortune 500 Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and C-level security leaders, the firm boasts a team with over 350 years of combined security investing and operational experience. This extensive expertise is complemented by a distinguished network of seasoned security advisors and CISOs, enabling SYN Ventures to provide unparalleled support to its portfolio companies.
