Momentum Partners has completed their selection of the 40 companies to the firm’s annual Watch List from the 1,700+ cybersecurity companies the firm tracks globally. Input was carefully considered from Momentum’s vast network of cybersecurity professionals, investors, and corporate dealmakers in order to identify these 40 companies displaying tremendous momentum.
“For the second year in a row, we are delighted to complete the firm’s Watch List of innovative and breakout companies in cybersecurity,” said Eric McAlpine, Momentum’s Managing Partner. “The firm’s Watch List and our CYBERscape sector taxonomy are labors of love and impossible without the assistance of our vast network in security.
