Ballistic Ventures Targets $490M for New AI Cybersecurity Funds
Ballistic Ventures announces a $490 million capital raise to launch a flagship fund and a dedicated investment vehicle amid growing AI-powered cyber threats.
Cybersecurity‑focused venture firm Ballistic Ventures has launched a fundraising drive totaling $490 million. The firm plans to allocate $360 million to a new flagship fund that will target early‑stage companies leveraging AI for security solutions.
In addition, Ballistic Ventures is seeking $130 million for a separate investment vehicle designed to back later‑stage opportunities in the same AI‑driven cybersecurity space. The dual‑track approach reflects the firm’s confidence in the rapid expansion of AI applications within cyber defense.
The capital raise comes at a time when investors are increasingly interested in technologies that can counter sophisticated threats using machine learning and automation. By securing dedicated capital for both early and growth‑stage ventures, Ballistic Ventures aims to position itself as a leading backer of the next generation of security innovators.
