Co-founding KYND, from idea to global cyber-risk leader
Onward Labs spotted an opportunity in cyber-risk management and co-founded KYND. We built the platform and engineering team, and helped bring in partners and over £7M of venture funding. Today KYND protects 5,000+ clients across 30 industries.
From vision to reality
As KYND's technology co-founder, Onward Labs built the engineering team and the first platform: pipelines that map each company's internet footprint and score its cyber risk in terms that businesses and their insurers can act on.
Partners and funding
Beyond the technology, we helped form the partnerships and secure the investment that powered KYND's early growth and international reach, working with BGF, CPP Group and CRIF.
The result
- 5,000+ clients across 30 industries, with a presence in three countries.
- Contracts with leading insurers such as Beazley.
KYND shows what happens when deep domain insight is paired with a committed technical co-founder, strategic partners and patient support.
