Sausalito, Calif. – Nov. 2, 2022

The inaugural PURE CYBER 100, compiled by Cybersecurity Ventures and published in Cybercrime Magazine, ranks companies that are focused exclusively or primarily on cybersecurity, and by the amount of venture capital they’ve raised over the past two years.

“We tend to think of a funding round as 24 months of runway,” says Bob Ackerman, founder and managing director at AllegisCyber Capital, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based venture capital firm focused on cybersecurity. “That is to say it should be enough money to hit meaningful milestones that will support the next round of financing at a material increase in valuation.”
