Cyberstarts operates as a cyber company-builder that engages with founders before there's a product or team through their hands-on Sunrise methodology, backed by cybersecurity founders like those from Check Point, Palo Alto Networks, and CyberArk who serve as active mentors rather than passive financiers. The fund maintains an unusually concentrated portfolio and operates a $300M Employee Liquidity Fund that offers annual windows for employees to sell vested shares, while their first fund has generated ~170% annual returns since 2018 with early positions in companies like Wiz and Fireblocks.
