About the Company
Trident Capital Cybersecurity (TCC) is the world`s largest venture capital fund dedicated solely to cybersecurity early stage investing. The firm is a spinout of Trident Capital, which became one of the pioneers in cybersecurity venture capital investing in 1998. Managing Directors Alberto Yépez, Sean Cunningham and Don Dixon jointly lead the investment team that includes Vice President - Will Lin. Collectively the team has more than 50 years of investment experience. This experience translates into an excellent record: 30 investments and 16 exits. These exits generated returns greater than six times the invested capital. Today we invest in these five areas: 1) Internet of Things, 2) Secure Payments and Fraud, 3) Next-Generation Identity Platforms, 4) Behavioral Analytics, and 5) Privacy and Security. Our portfolio companies include 4iQ, Appthority, Bayshore Networks, ID Experts and IronNet Cybersecurity. Additionally other active, prior investments for the partnership include AlienVault, BlueCat Networks, Hytrust and Mocana. One major differentiator is our well established and powerful 47-person Advisory Council. This is a blue-ribbon group that includes current cybersecurity entrepreneurs, CEOs of private and public companies, CISOs of major organizations, and former government security leaders. The firm collaborates with the Advisory Council on sourcing deals, evaluating prospective investments, building portfolio company value, and finding reference customers and go-to-market partners to help scale our portfolio company businesses. The Advisory Council is one of the main reasons that Trident Capital Cybersecurity is known as the most connected venture capital firm in our industry.
