Our Focus

CUPP invests at the earliest stages of cybersecurity company-building.

  • Stage: Pre-seed and seed, with selective follow-on

  • Ticket size: Up to USD 50k per investment

We gravitate toward technical founding teams with a sharp view of the threat landscape and a clear sense of the customer.

We are thesis-driven but not rigid. Current focus areas include:

  • Cloud & application security

  • Identity, access & human risk

  • Data, privacy & compliance

  • OT / IoT / critical infrastructure

  • Security operations, detection & automation

  • Security for AI-native products

How We Work With Founders

After investing, we can help with:

  • Customer discovery and early design partners

  • Product and roadmap prioritization

  • Positioning, pricing, and packaging

  • Hiring key early technical and GTM leaders

  • Planning and raising follow-on capital

We keep a concentrated portfolio so we can stay close to each team.
