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.
