Lytical Ventures Information

Lytical Ventures is a New York–based seed fund deploying capital at the collision of cybersecurity and AI. We are original hackers and modern investors, and trace our lineage to the Cult of the Dead Cow's Ninja Strike Force, DEF CON, and @stake, the early communities that transformed hacking into modern cybersecurity. The world's top CISOs are our allies and advisors, and its those relationships that form our edge: structural proximity to where ideas and teams originate means we meet founders inside operator networks, not on the fundraising circuit. FOCUSED INVESTING We see the collision of cybersecurity and AI as two distinct but reinforcing motions, AI for Cybersecurity and Cybersecurity for AI. We invest in AI for Cybersecurity (AI-native solutions disrupting cybersecurity incumbents) and Cybersecurity for AI (novel approaches to securing AI itself).
