Osney Capital is the UK's first sector-specialist venture capital firm focused exclusively on early-stage cybersecurity. The firm invests in exceptional founders building the next generation of cyber security companies from the United Kingdom, writing first cheques of £250k–£2.5m at pre-seed and seed stage, with capacity for follow-on at Series A. As stated by the firm: 'Everything we do is geared around supporting UK Cyber founders during the early stages of their growth. Our deep sector knowledge means we understand the market, the buyers, and the technology.' Osney only invests where its team can uniquely add value — bringing networks, expertise, and hands-on guidance to every partnership. The firm is accredited by the UK's National Security Strategic Investment Fund (NSSIF) and plans to build a portfolio of ~30 companies. It also eyes opportunistic investments in Canadian cybersecurity startups, particularly those looking to enter the UK and European markets.
