CultureAI Secures £7 Million Seed Funding for Growth
On May 3rd, 2023, CultureAI, the leading platform for human risk management tailored for security and awareness teams, made headlines with the announcement of a significant milestone: they successfully secured £7 million in seed funding. This impressive investment came from notable sources including Conviction VC, Passion Capital, Senovo, as well as angel investors such as Paul Forster, the founder of Indeed, and Guntram Friede, who previously held the position of Head of Marketing EMEA at Mulesoft. The funds are earmarked for enhancing the platform's capabilities and expanding the workforce, particularly focusing on research and development (R&D) and new go-to-market (GTM) strategies. This follows a time of remarkable growth for the company, which has effectively managed the security behaviours of over 250,000 employees across a diverse range of client organizations.
As a response to the alarming statistics regarding corporate cybersecurity breaches—which are frequently attributed to human errors such as clicking on phishing emails or reusing passwords—CultureAI provides a unique, data-driven cloud-based solution.
Traditional methods of capturing and measuring employee security behaviour have proven insufficient, often limited to running phishing simulations. CultureAI addresses this gap by integrating seamlessly with an organization's existing technology infrastructure, providing actionable insights into employee security behaviours. Through the platform, organizations can implement tailored security awareness coaching, automated technical interventions, and proactive reminders that empower employees to address their own security risks with ease.
According to James Moore, the CEO and Founder of CultureAI, the continuous investment into the platform has two primary goals: to accelerate market growth and to attract new domestic and international customers. Over the past five years, CultureAI has transitioned from being a founder-led initiative into a robust growth entity, rapidly increasing revenue and workforce size. With a current team of 35, they've successfully attracted talent from leading cybersecurity organizations, a testament to their innovative approach in transforming security cultures within various sectors, including finance and government. As Andrew Jenkins, Founder and General Partner at Conviction VC, aptly noted, CultureAI is significantly disrupting the landscape of cybersecurity awareness by establishing a new category of human risk management, demonstrating great potential for ongoing expansion and leadership in this critical field.
