UK-based cybersecurity platform ThreatSpike has raised $14 million in Series A funding, aiming to accelerate its international growth and further its mission to bring enterprise-grade security to mid-sized organisations.
The round was led by Expedition Growth Capital, with cybersecurity veteran and Darktrace co-founder Emily Orton also joining the company’s board.
ThreatSpike offers a platform that bundles 24/7 managed detection and response in order to remove complexity and hidden costs while maintaining enterprise-level capabilities. It combines AI-driven threat monitoring with real-time analytics and expert support.
The investment marks a significant inflection point for the London-based startup, which has so far avoided external capital. Now, with backing from a growth-stage investor and the addition of Orton (who helped scale Darktrace into one of Europe’s most prominent cybersecurity firms) ThreatSpike is preparing to scale its platform and go-to-market operations globally.
“We founded ThreatSpike having witnessed first hand that achieving high quality cybersecurity protection is far too complex and costly,” said Adam Blake, CEO and Founder. “In a market full of three-letter acronym products and aggressive upselling, we take a different approach which puts customer security at the core.”
“ThreatSpike has the highest level of customer referral-driven growth and satisfaction that we have seen across the cybersecurity industry,” said Will Sheldon, Partner at Expedition Growth Capital, who also joins the board. “The company has been growing rapidly and profitably without investment.”
“Adam and Kate are both impressive technology entrepreneurs,” said Emily Orton, Co-Founder of Darktrace. “I am excited to join them on ThreatSpike’s board and use my experience to help scale the business in this new phase of growth.”
The cybersecurity market has seen increasing consolidation in recent years, as enterprises grow weary of managing fragmented tools that often create more gaps than they fill. According to Gartner, organisations deploy an average of 45 cybersecurity tools, and yet breaches continue to rise. ThreatSpike is betting that mid-sized companies — often underserved by complex enterprise offerings — want more integrated, affordable, and outcome-oriented solutions.
With the fresh capital, ThreatSpike plans to expand its engineering, security operations, and commercial teams, while accelerating its product roadmap. The company will continue evolving its Blue and Red offerings, with an emphasis on automated detection, deeper risk insights, and adaptive threat simulation capabilities.
