CybaVerse Raises £5m in Series A Funding to Fuel Growth and Innovation

Funding raised from Pembroke VCT, Airbridge and Haatch paves the way for continued innovation, and expansion.

London, UK – October 14, 2025 - We are proud to announce that CybaVerse has successfully closed its Series A funding round, securing £5 million in investment. The round was co-led by Pembroke VCT and Airbridge Equity Partners, with participation from Haatch. We raised funds with legal support from boutique firm, Culbert Ellis.

Founded in 2018, we have grown from a boutique consultancy into an established UK cyber security vendor, with nearly 40 employees and a rapidly expanding customer base. Our mission is to make cyber security simpler, more efficient and more accessible for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

The new funding will accelerate our sales and marketing efforts, expand our team, and support continued product development of our proprietary platform, CybaOps. It also marks a switch from founder-led sales to a scalable SaaS growth model.

CybaOps is an all-in-one cyber security management platform that combines detection, compliance, security, and testing into one SaaS product for SMEs and MSPs. Its white-labelled model allows partners to rebrand and resell the solution at speed and scale, while streamlining complex security tasks, and delivering an affordable, automation-led solution to strengthen defences against sophisticated threats.

In the last year, we have grown our revenue by 180% and retained 90% of our customers. The Series A funding follows a £1.1m funding round in 2024 and our recent acquisition of SecureAck, as well as our recent shortlisting in the CRN Channel Awards 2025 under the "Rising Star Security Vendor of the Year" category.

Oliver Spence, CEO of CybaVerse, said: “This funding marks an exciting new chapter for CybaVerse. Having such a high calibre of investors onboard 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 cyber security for everyone,” said 

Fred Ursell, Head of Investments at Pembroke Investment Managers, said:Cyber security 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 cyber security 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.”
