Trickest Secures €1.4 Million in Seed Funding

Trickest, the visionary startup behind a groundbreaking cloud-based platform for identifying vulnerabilities within systems, is thrilled to announce the successful completion of a seed round of investment, securing an impressive €1.4 million. This development was led by Credo Ventures, with active participation from the Early Bird Digital East fund. Notably, angel investments were also made by industry leaders, Daniel Dines and Marius Tirca, the CEO and CTO of the Romanian tech giant, UiPath.

Empowering Cybersecurity Through Innovation

In recognition of our innovative cybersecurity solution, ICT Hub Ventures invested in Trickest in 2020. The ongoing development of the Trickest platform has been further secured by the support of the Innovation Fund, where we were recipients of a Mini Grant that provided necessary early-stage funding.

With this new round of investment, our primary focus is on expanding our Belgrade team and accelerating the product's Beta phase launch.
