Hadrian, a cybersecurity startup based in London and Amsterdam, has secured €35.68 million in a funding round co-led by Forgepoint Capital International and SmartFin. Existing investors, including HV Capital, Motive Partners, Picus Capital, and Oetker Ventures, also participated. This latest injection brings the company's total funding to nearly €58 million, or approximately $65 million.
Founded in 2021 by Rogier Fischer, Olivier Beg, and Maurice Clin, the company provides an offensive security platform designed to identify and close security gaps. The platform utilizes an agentic engine for continuous discovery and validation of cyber risks. Its core products, Atlas and Nora, map external attack surfaces and perform autonomous penetration testing to help organizations prioritize remediation.
According to the company, its platform offers 10x greater visibility into critical exposures, an 80% faster time to resolution, and a 5x return on investment compared to traditional manual pentesting. The startup aims to address the challenge of security teams struggling to keep pace with attackers who operate at machine speed and utilize AI to automate attack chains.
Hadrian currently serves clients across the US and Europe, including major corporations such as McKesson, NBCUniversal, TotalEnergies, Amadeus, Leroy Merlin, and Damen Shipyard. The company emphasizes that its technology allows businesses to view their security posture through the eyes of a hacker, enabling teams to focus on genuine threats while AI handles the repetitive, high-speed tasks.
