Copilot Capital, a London-based private equity firm supporting high-growth European software companies, has made a majority investment in SecureFlag, furthering SecureFlag’s mission to reshape the future of cybersecurity training and threat modeling.
The $200mm pan-European fund is backed by global investment firm The Friedkin Group, a privately held consortium of businesses and investments.
Led by managing partner John Messer, Copilot will actively support SecureFlag in the next stage of its growth journey, with the aim of establishing it as the global champion in the secure training space.
“Joining forces with Copilot marks a significant milestone for our business. John and his team bring expertise across go-to-market, hiring, scaling software businesses, and more. The partnership will help scale our operations and further develop our product offerings to meet the growing demand for secure coding and threat modeling solutions. We look forward to working together.” said SecureFlag CEO and co-founder Andrea Scaduto
SecureFlag further released the AI-powered threat modeling product ThreatCanvas, which enhances its platform’s ability to provide real-world scenarios for secure coding.
“This investment aligns with Copilot Capital’s focus on supporting innovative companies that don’t fit the profile of a typical VC or buyout fund despite their obvious potential. SecureFlag’s direct and effective SaaS-based approach to cybersecurity training aligns well with our investment thesis, and we’re looking forward to working with Andrea and Emilio to expand their GTM capabilities and help shape the future of this exciting industry.” says John Messer, Managing Partner of Copilot
