Allegis Capital (operating as AllegisCyber Capital) is a global early-stage venture capital firm founded in 1996 that pioneered exclusive focus on cybersecurity and data science investing. The firm describes itself as 'the first VC focused exclusively on cybersecurity and data science,' backing seed to early-growth companies developing disruptive and innovative approaches to protect the global digital economy. With over $700 million in capital under management and more than 40 portfolio companies, Allegis uses an integrated investment platform — including a strategic partnership with cyber start-up studio DataTribe — to give entrepreneurs 'an unfair competitive advantage' through deep domain expertise, operational experience, and access to intelligence-community networks. The firm invests in companies securing both legacy computing infrastructure and next-generation platforms where security is inherent in design, spanning threat intelligence, identity & access, cloud security, endpoint security, OT/ICS security, and emerging AI-driven cyber defense. Allegis targets U.S. and select international markets, with a stated mission to 'bend the risk curve down and the acceleration curve up' for its portfolio founders.
