Cybersecurity builders 
backing cybersecurity founders

CUPP is an early-stage investment firm focused exclusively on cybersecurity.
We back founders with deep technical insight, ambitious product visions,
and the drive to build enduring security companies.

Who We Are

CUPP began as a cybersecurity technology company. We built and shipped real security products to demanding customers, and lived the day-to-day reality of defending critical systems.

Now we use that experience as investors: focused, technical, and directly useful to founders.

  • Global, with emphasis on Europe and North America

Typical areas:
