Auriga Partners gathers €80M toward new cybersecurity vehicle
The Paris venture firm secured an interim close toward a €100 million goal for early-stage European software protection investments.
Parisian venture firm Auriga Partners has collected €80 million in early commitments for its second security-focused pool, Auriga Cyber Ventures II [1]. The firm is targeting €100 million overall, setting its maximum ceiling at €120 million [1].
Capital from the fund will flow to emerging European cybersecurity teams between pre-seed and Series A rounds [1]. Initial checks have already gone to Nextident, Mankinds, Fleuret, and Finovox [1].
Public backers providing capital include the European Investment Fund alongside Bpifrance [1]. The effort broadens a specialization Auriga began four years earlier, when it introduced a €55 million cybersecurity vehicle in 2022 [1]. "In cybersecurity, the ability to provide hands-on support is just as critical as funding," Managing Partner William Lecat noted in Tech.eu [1].
