Cyberating, a start-up created to provide companies with the ability to assess and mitigate cyber risks through an accurate rating of cyber risk exposure, announces that it has closed a pre-seed round with a total funding of EUR 1.85 million.
The round saw the exclusive financial advisor FNDX and the participation of private investors active in cybersecurity, high fashion and finance.
The round supports Cyberating’s vision of becoming the leading cyber rating agency in Europe. The capital raised will allow the start-up to evolve the current prototype into a final version of the platform and to start go-to-market activities, with a focus on marketing and sales. The prototype has already been successfully tested by customers in the luxury automotive and oil and gas sectors, who have recognised the value and potential of the project.
Data from the Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025 highlights how, with geopolitical tensions on the rise and the uncertain global environment, risk perceptions are steadily increasing. One in three CEOs cite cyber espionage and intellectual property theft as top business concerns, while 45 per cent of cybersecurity managers fear disruptions to operations and operations, as well as significant financial damage. Another crucial concern for businesses stems from growing supply chain interdependencies. As the supply chain expands, cybersecurity strategies must be increasingly integrated along the entire value chain. Not surprisingly, 54 per cent of large organisations identify supply chain management as the main obstacle to achieving robust cyber resilience.
“Today, companies are faced with complex and poorly optimised processes that require technological and procedural innovation to simplify and make cybersecurity assessments more effective. It is therefore increasingly urgent to improve the understanding and management of cybersecurity risks,’ explains Stefano Fratepietro, CEO and president of Cyberating, in a note. Cyberating was founded with this very mission: to create the leading cybersecurity rating agency in Europe. Through our rating platform and independent consultancy services, we offer an objective and transparent approach to help companies improve their security posture. The pre-seed funding round will allow us to complete the development of our platform and start commercial expansion in Italy and the rest of Europe. The trust of our investors confirms the validity of our vision and the transformative potential of our project: We rate the future’.
Giacomo Manaresi, partner at FNDX, comments: ‘We are proud to have supported Cyberating in this important milestone. The growing relevance of cybersecurity in the global landscape requires companies to adopt increasingly advanced tools to assess and mitigate cyber risks. The success of this round demonstrates the market’s confidence in Cyberating’s ability to become a benchmark in the sector. As FNDX, we continue to put our expertise at the service of high-potential realities, fostering strategic investments in high-growth technology and digital areas.” (photo by Caleb Jack on Unsplash)
