SYN Ventures invests in disruptive, transformational solutions that reduce technology risk. SYN was founded by Jay Leek, Managing Partner and Co-founder of ClearSky Security and former Blackstone Chief Information Security Officer (CISO); and Patrick Heim, Partner and CISO for ClearSky Security and former Head of Security at Dropbox and Chief Trust Officer for Salesforce.com. The firm’s dedicated security team has a proven track record withover 100 years of security investing and operational experience. SYN also hasa highly distinguished network of seasoned security advisors and CISOs.
“Tension among business constraints, growing threats, increased regulation, and the rapid evolution of technology creates security gaps that in turn create opportunities for entrepreneurs. It is these opportunities that SYN is targeting. For the next generation of disruptive security companies, nothing substitutes proven operating expertise and networks to achieve clarity of mission and to rise above the industry noise.”
In the Summer of 2022, SYN Ventures announced the closing of its $300M Fund II. The closing came less than 12 months since the launch of its debut fund and continued the firm’s focus on early-stage cybersecurity, industrial security, national defense, privacy, regulatory compliance, and data governance start-ups.
