Saporo closes €7M Series A to scale its graph-native identity security platform

Swiss cybersecurity startup Saporo has secured €7 million in Series A funding to scale its graph-native identity security platform. This investment round highlights the growing importance of robust identity security solutions in Europe, reflecting a trend towards strengthening digital infrastructure. The funding will allow Saporo to expand and enhance its offerings in the evolving cybersecurity landscape. The Series A round was led by TIN Capital, with participation from G+D Ventures, CDP Venture Capital, XAnge, Lightbird VC, and Session VC. Each investor will strategically support Saporo's expansion; for example, TIN Capital will focus on Northern Europe, and G+D Ventures will facilitate market development in Germany. Saporo's platform identifies and mitigates risks associated with identity-based attacks, which account for a large percentage of cyber incidents. Saporo's technology addresses a critical need, as identity-based attacks account for about 80% of cyber incidents. By using graph databases and graph theory, the platform helps enterprises understand their environments from an attacker's perspective, identifying vulnerabilities and potential attack paths. The company's focus on automation and multi-cloud coverage demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to cybersecurity, crucial for protecting hybrid identity systems. With the new funding, Saporo plans to expand its R&D, sales, and marketing teams, supported by internal AI tools, throughout 2026. This investment will enable Saporo to further its mission of helping enterprises secure their digital identities in a threat landscape dominated by sophisticated attacks. This growth aligns with Europe's increasing focus on cybersecurity and digital sovereignty.
