Forgepoint Capital

About

Forgepoint Capital is a multi-stage venture capital firm that invests in transformative companies protecting the digital future. We partner with exceptional entrepreneurs defining and tackling the biggest challenges in cybersecurity and infrastructure software.

APPROACH

Our mission is to ensure a safer and more prosperous world by investing in the innovators shaping and securing our digital future. We combine a thesis-driven approach with hands-on experience backing and building great companies.

OUR FOCUS

Security is fundamental.

Software and systems must be secure. As technology and markets have evolved, we’ve broadened our definition of cybersecurity to include critical adjacent technologies (AI/ML, Blockchain, Cloud, DevOps, Insurtech, Fintech, and Privacy).

We specialize in cybersecurity.

Some go wide, we go deep. We’re strategically focused on this challenging space and bring a disciplined approach to how we invest and help companies grow.

We are multi-stage.

We invest early to growth, but a majority of our investments are Series A and B. We know what it takes to achieve enterprise scale and become a market leader.

We are hands-on and involved.

We work hard to be your most important partner, sharing our insights and connections along with the help of our Advisory Council and operating team.

OUR MISSION

From first call to exit.

Conviction matters.

Cybersecurity is not a theme but our focus. We understand your product, market, customers, and competition.

Time is valuable.

From strategic capital to critical introductions, we move fast and flexibly to meet your needs and timing.

Relationships are not transactions.

We are committed to building a trusted and thriving community of innovators.

On your team.

We show up every day, not just at the board meeting. We work proactively to help you scale faster.

In your corner.

Companies rarely advance in a straight line. We are long-term partners – in good times and bad.

Commitment to ESG.

We are proud to be a founding signatory of ILPA’s Diversity in Action Initiative and an active participant in the ILPA’s ESG Data Convergence Project. Our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria starts with our diverse team, which is passionate about creating positive societal change. As impact investors, we abide by responsible investment pledges. We incorporate ESG into every aspect of what we do and invite our portfolio companies to do the same.

Crosser Capital

O Brasil é um país que enfrenta desafios por conta do seu subdesenvolvimento estrutural e, por isso, possui oportunidades de expansão geográfica para empresas e projetos que desejam mudar essa realidade. Atualmente, existe uma concentração de mercado fornecedor habilitado para atendimentos complexos a grandes corporações, o que faz com que poucos players dominem grande parte do mercado, algo que entendemos que precisa ser alterado. Não buscamos apenas empreendedores e projetos com potencial de resultados financeiros, mas sim aqueles que querem transformar e melhorar a realidade do país, contribuindo para o seu desenvolvimento e seu crescimento de forma sustentável e equilibrada. O que nos faz diferentes Para acelerar o crescimento e maximizar o retorno das empresas investidas, é essencial adotar uma estratégia que não apenas agilize a implementação de processos, mas também minimize os custos relacionados às estruturas de suporte necessárias para a operação do negócio Por isso, possuímos um Centro de Serviços Compartilhados (CSC) desenvolvido estrategicamente para atender nossas investidas, oferecendo serviços de múltiplas áreas de backoffice e operação para apoiar as empresas no seu dia a dia, tanto em termos de planejamento quanto de operação. Entenda nossa cultura de investimentos Possuímos uma metodologia única de atuação no mercado, contando com um horizonte de investimento flexível e focando no desenvolvimento da autonomia operacional de cada investida Horizonte de investimento: Nosso horizonte de investimento é flexível, permitindo que as empresas investidas permaneçam no portfólio por tempo indeterminado, de acordo com nossa avaliação de seu potencial de crescimento e a plena absorção do conhecimento disponível por meio do nosso CSC. Autonomia Operacional: As empresas investidas têm acesso ao CSC por tempo indeterminado. No entanto, ao longo de toda a jornada com a Crosser Capital, elas são preparadas para a transição gradual e estruturada de desvinculação do CSC. Isso assegura a absorção de todo o conhecimento necessário para que suas operações sejam conduzidas de forma totalmente autônoma.
