we invest

As a boutique seed-stage venture capital firm, SLC invests in early stage companies where cybersecurity will be a critical enabler for success. We seek to partner with a wide range of what would be considered “standalone” cybersecurity companies as well as other sectors that require a strong cybersecurity foundation to differentiate their offering, e.g. fintech, healthcare IT, blockchain, and cloud/datacenter infrastructure.

We welcome a dialog with individuals who have deep vertical expertise and unique insights about how technology can modernize or disrupt the status quo in their field.  We can make connections with the right technical founders, seed capital, and advice to make their ideas a reality.

Our collective team has a successful track record of building, scaling, and exiting numerous companies from scratch, and has deep expertise in all facets of cybersecurity and the company-building process.

Along the way, we’ll help you closely examine the role cybersecurity can play in your product mix and overall company success.
