The Journey
Horizon Capital have been closely following the cyber security market for several years, having first met the business in 2020. A clear value creation strategy has been developed with management that combines continued organic growth and investment in its IP with a number of complementary acquisitions.
Buy and Build
Market mapping has enabled a deep knowledge of the sector which is experiencing significant growth supported by strong structural tailwinds and remains highly fragmented. Horizon Capital and management have built a strong pipeline of future acquisition targets focused on highly complementary services to Threatscape’s existing business.
