SUMMARY

  • London-based cybersecurity startup CybaVerse has raised £5 million in Series A funding to accelerate growth and product development. The round was co-led by Pembroke VCT and Airbridge Equity Partners, with participation from Haatch, and legal support from Culbert Ellis.

Founded in 2018, CybaVerse has grown from a boutique consultancy into a UK cybersecurity vendor with nearly 40 employees. Its mission is to make cybersecurity simpler, efficient, and accessible for SMEs and MSPs.

The funding will drive the company’s shift to a scalable SaaS model, expanding sales, marketing, and its team, while accelerating development of CybaOps its all-in-one cybersecurity platform.

Oliver Spence, CEO of CybaVerse, said: “This funding marks an exciting new chapter for CybaVerse. Having such a high calibre of investors on board validates our vision to design and deliver innovative solutions that empower MSPs and SMEs. With this investment, we will accelerate CybaOps development, enhance AI-driven features and expand our team to bring smarter, more scalable security to MSPs and SMEs, all while staying true to our mission of simplifying cybersecurity for everyone.”

Fred Ursell, Head of Investments at Pembroke Investment Managers, said: “Cybersecurity has become an arms race that most small businesses simply can’t afford to fight. CybaVerse levels the playing field – giving SMEs and their IT partners enterprise-grade protection through automation, not armies of analysts. Ollie’s background in military-grade cyber operations, combined with a clear commercial instinct, has built a platform that turns complex security into something simple, scalable and effective. It’s a smart UK company solving a global problem and we’re proud to back their next phase of growth.”

Robin Rensen, Partner at Airbridge Equity Partners, said: “Cyber security is increasingly becoming a board-level priority for the long-tail SME market, yet too many of these businesses remain underserved by legacy solutions. CybaVerse is changing that. Ollie, Gemma and the team have built a product-first company that combines deep technical expertise with a sharp understanding of customer pain points. The result is a very robust company protecting many companies directly, and well prepared to increasingly do so via channel partners. We are thrilled to back CybaVerse alongside Pembroke and Haatch. We look forward to supporting the team as they scale their mission of making robust cybersecurity accessible to all businesses.”

Jonathan Keeling, Partner at Haatch, said: “We first backed CybaVerse in 2024 and have watched the team execute brilliantly, growing revenue, expanding their product, and tripling the company’s share price in just over a year. Ollie and the team are building a category-defining platform in one of the fastest-growing sectors in tech. We’re thrilled to double down on our conviction and join an outstanding group of growth-stage investors as CybaVerse continues to scale.”

With this new funding, CybaVerse aims to solidify its market presence, enhance AI-powered features on its platform, and keep making cybersecurity simpler and more accessible for SMEs and MSPs.
