Osney Capital Closes Oversubscribed €69 Million Debut Cybersecurity Fund

The fund received major support from the British Business Bank through its Enterprise Capital Funds (ECF) programme. It has also been recognised by the UK's National Security Strategic Investment Fund (NSSIF).

At the final close, new investors including Imperial College London's Endowment and Planet First Partners joined the fund. Their investment will help Osney Capital support more early-stage cybersecurity companies in the UK.

Joshua Walter, founding partner at Osney Capital, says: “Reaching final close oversubscribed at our hard cap, in this fundraising environment, is the clearest possible signal that investors see what we see: the UK’s cyber sector is one of the most exciting early-stage opportunities globally, and it benefits enormously from specialist capital on the ground, supporting the formation of the next generation of global category winners from the UK.”

John Anderson, Chief Investment Officer at Imperial College London, adds: “Cybersecurity is an area of growing economic and strategic importance to the UK, with significant potential for home-grown innovations to become major commercial successes. Our investment in Osney Capital’s first fund will give us exposure to this opportunity through a highly experienced specialist team, supporting our Endowment’s objective of generating financial returns to support Imperial’s mission of science for humanity.”

Founded in 2020, Osney Capital is a UK-based venture capital firm that invests only in early-stage cybersecurity startups. The firm focuses on helping cyber technology founders grow their businesses by providing funding, guidance, and support during the early stages of their journey.
