Infrawatch secures $3M pre-seed for internet infrastructure intelligence

London-based cybersecurity startup Infrawatch has raised $3 million in a pre-seed funding round co-led by Outward VC and Triple Point Ventures, with participation from Portfolio Ventures and a group of fintech and cybersecurity angel investors.

Founded by Lloyd Davies and built by a team of former employees from CrowdStrike, Recorded Future and Intel 471, Infrawatch is developing what it describes as an Internet Infrastructure Intelligence Layer for cybersecurity, fraud prevention and online investigations.

The company’s platform is designed to help organisations identify and monitor the infrastructure underpinning cyberattacks, phishing campaigns, scams and online abuse. According to Infrawatch, while attackers frequently change accounts, payloads and tactics, the internet infrastructure they rely on leaves identifiable patterns that can be tracked and analysed before threats scale further.

Its platform processes tens of billions of internet events each day, transforming internet-scale visibility into actionable intelligence. The system provides organisations with information about infrastructure behaviour, potential operators and trustworthiness, while enabling teams to create custom detection rules alongside pre-built threat monitoring capabilities.

According to Lloyd Davies, founder and CEO of Infrawatch, infrastructure intelligence remains highly fragmented, with organisations relying on noisy data feeds and disconnected workflows that often fail to provide genuinely real-time threat detection:

Enterprises cannot keep up by patching together narrow intelligence feeds while the internet changes beneath them. That is why we built Infrawatch from the ground up: to turn one of the most underutilised aspects of cybersecurity into a practical defence layer that empowers defenders to act earlier and stop threats before they reach their customers, users or systems.

The new funding will support the company’s next stage of growth, including expansion of its engineering and research teams, further platform development ahead of a planned public launch later this year, early enterprise deployments, and expansion into the United States.
