ThreatAware Series A funds agentless discovery and AI workspace for North America
This article covers ThreatAware, a London-founded cyber asset management startup, which has raised £18.5m ($25m) in a series A funding round led by One Peak. The funding will be used to expand North American operations and accelerate development of an AI-powered security workspace to help enterprise security teams discover and manage assets and build bespoke tools rapidly.
ThreatAware has raised £18.5m ($25m) in a series A funding round led by One Peak. The London-founded cyber asset management startup, which says it bootstrapped to profitability and serves more than 100 clients, will use the capital to expand North American operations and accelerate development of an AI-powered security workspace that it hopes will let security teams build bespoke tools quickly.
Why it matters
Enterprises are increasingly stretched for visibility across cloud, remote and hybrid environments, creating blind spots that attackers can exploit. ThreatAware’s figures — that roughly 10% of devices accessing corporate networks go undetected and about 30% of security controls are missing or misconfigured — underline how many organisations lack an accurate inventory of assets and assurance that controls are operating correctly. The new funding arrives at a time when investors are funneling more capital into defensive tooling that promises clearer attack-surface visibility.
Inside the product
ThreatAware’s platform centres on a proprietary cyber asset management engine. The company highlights two technical claims: patent-pending Timeline Matching technology and a library of 150+ pre-built integrations. Together these are designed to discover devices accessing corporate data and validate that security controls are deployed and functioning. Deployments are marketed as agentless and achievable in under 30 minutes.
Beyond visibility, ThreatAware is prioritising an AI-powered workspace that lets security teams create tailored applications and automations. Early adopters reportedly built bespoke software licence management tools in under an hour and deployed applications that identify cost savings within minutes. The company positions this layer as a way to convert asset intelligence into operational workflows without heavy engineering effort.
Who are the investors?
The round was led by One Peak, a growth equity firm with roughly £3bn in assets under management that invests in technology companies in the startup phase. One Peak offers growth capital plus operational support and a network it says helps build category leaders.
The firm’s public portfolio spans enterprise software categories relevant to ThreatAware’s market: Neo4j (graph databases used for connected data problems), Cymulate (cybersecurity testing and posture), PandaDoc (document and contract automation), Deepki (data-driven energy and building efficiency), and others. These examples show One Peak’s focus on software businesses that scale revenue through product-led adoption or platform expansion.
Humbert de Liedekerke Beaufort, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at One Peak, said:
ThreatAware has done something remarkable - reaching profitability and over 100 clients without a single dollar of outside funding. That tells you everything about the strength of the product. ThreatAware’s highly accurate cyber asset intelligence platform, combined with its AI-powered capabilities, is unlike anything else we’ve seen in the market. We believe ThreatAware is uniquely positioned to build a standout leader in modern security infrastructure by transforming how security teams achieve visibility and control across increasingly complex environments, and look forward to supporting ThreatAware in its next phase of growth.

Founder perspective
Jon Abbott, CEO and Co-Founder of ThreatAware, said:
Security teams are tired of forcing their workflows into rigid, off-the-shelf tools that don't quite fit. We've spent six years building the most accurate cyber asset data foundation in the market — now we're putting that infrastructure to work, letting teams create the tools they actually want through AI.
Abbott frames the company’s approach as moving from data-gathering to enabling custom workflows, effectively turning asset intelligence into an extensible platform for operations and cost control.
The bigger picture
ThreatAware’s fundraising highlights two broader trends in European and UK security markets. First, investors are prepared to back companies that demonstrate early commercial traction and unit economics; One Peak explicitly flagged ThreatAware’s profitable, self-funded history as a signal. Second, there is growing interest in tooling that combines discovery and assurance with low-friction automation, reflecting customer demand for both visibility and actionable workflows.
For cybersecurity teams, the combination of agentless discovery, broad integrations and an extensible AI workspace is pitched as a way to reduce tool fragmentation. For investors, the deal is another example of growth capital flowing into defensive software that can scale internationally.
The deal also underlines London’s continuing role as a hub for security startups and for funds prepared to support their international expansion into North America and beyond. As enterprises wrestle with an expanding attack surface, expect more rounds targeting companies that promise both accurate asset data and ways to turn that data into day-to-day security operations.
