Founded in 2014, Ten Eleven Ventures was one of the first VC firms dedicated to backing cybersecurity startups. It has made 40 cyber security investments in various phases across the globe and since 2020, 40% of the firm's investments have been made outside the US and Canada, including Europe, Israel, and Australia.
