MetroSITE Group

MetroSITE Group is a syndicate of angel investors specializing in cybersecurity investments. The group comprises current and former cybersecurity founders and executives, including CEOs, CTOs, CISOs, and CMOs, who invest both capital and time to mentor entrepreneurs in the cybersecurity sector. Their mission is to enhance global safety by supporting companies that develop valuable security solutions. Collaboration, perseverance, and trusted relationships are integral to their approach, alongside financial investment. The leadership team strives to assemble an ideal network of strategic investors who have made significant contributions to the cybersecurity industry and remain deeply committed to its advancement.

The group's investment strategy involves collaborating with established venture partners to invest in Seed or Series A funding rounds. They have invested in over 20 companies, with numerous successful exits, typically contributing between $500,000 and $2.5 million per investment. MetroSITE Group does not lead investments or establish valuations; instead, they focus on providing value through company and product strategy, go-to-market execution, and a sharp focus on cybersecurity. They are often invited to participate in funding rounds to offer their expertise and are frequently involved in advisory boards, serve as independent board members, and provide strategic sessions with company executives.

MetroSITE Group's process begins with initial briefings where members meet with startup founders to understand their business and product offerings. If there is mutual interest, the group coordinates further discussions with their broader community and technology partners to generate deeper analysis and interest. They assist in establishing a range of investment options and can introduce founders to prospective lead VC investors if one is not already established. To streamline the investment process, they create a special-purpose vehicle (SPV) that includes all angel investors, reducing administrative complexity for the company and the syndicate. Periodic reviews are conducted every six months with the participating investors to assess the progress and impact of their investments.
