Osney Capital

Osney Capital is a specialist venture capital firm investing exclusively in early-stage cybersecurity companies in the United Kingdom. The firm deploys capital at pre-seed and seed, and concentrates on a single sector rather than operating a multi-sector mandate. Its stated approach is to back founders from the earliest stages of growth and to invest only where the team can provide meaningful support alongside capital.

Investment focus areas span six technical domains: penetration testing, software supply-chain security, threat hunting, identity governance, AI security, and digital forensics. Beyond capital, the firm offers access to investor networks, hands-on guidance, and sector knowledge covering cyber markets, buyers, and technologies. Sector specialisation of this kind is a distinguishing feature in a UK early-stage market where generalist funds account for much of the pre-seed and seed activity.

The team is small and specialist, comprising three named members: Joshua Walter, Adam Cragg, and Paul Wilkes. Their collective backgrounds span cyber security, venture investing, and financial services law. Osney Capital's geographic presence is limited to the United Kingdom.
