Alberto Yépez is a longtime operator-turned-investor who helped build several foundational identity and access management companies before focusing exclusively on cybersecurity investing, giving him unusually deep domain and operating experience compared with many VCs. He co-founded Forgepoint Capital long before the current wave of sector-focused funds and positions himself explicitly as a social impact investor in cyber, framing cybersecurity as critical digital infrastructure that protects people, institutions, and democracies rather than just as an enterprise software category.

Forgepoint Capital is the largest venture fund dedicated exclusively to cybersecurity with over $1B AUM, distinguished by its formal Advisory Council of 80+ CISOs and cyber operators who actively guide portfolio companies, plus its minority- and veteran-owned leadership including founding GP Alberto Yépez, a repeat cybersecurity founder and long-time security investor. The firm also incubates companies in-house and broadens cybersecurity investing into cyber-adjacent categories like AI/ML and fintech, using security as a horizontal lens rather than a narrow niche.
