Horumarka suuqa amniga internetka
Qorshahan maalgashigu wuxuu imanayaa iyadoo isticmaalka ballaaran ee sirdoonka macmalka ah uu kordhiyay walaaca ku saabsan weerarro internet oo casri ah. Sidoo kale, kororka wakiilada sirdoonka macmalka ah wuxuu abuuray fursado cusub oo loogu talagalay shirkadaha amniga internetka iyo shirkadaha maalgashiga ee taageera. Wariye ka tirsan shirkad kale oo maalgashi ayaa TechCrunch u sheegay in xiriirka Ballistic la leh Kleiner Perkins uu ka duwan yahay tartamayaasheeda, inkastoo istaraatijiyadeeda maalgashi ay la mid tahay tan Forgepoint Capital iyo Ten Eleven Ventures.
The San Francisco cybersecurity investor filed with the SEC this week for a $360 million third flagship fund and a $130 million Fund B.
Ballistic Ventures is seeking to raise $490 million across two new funds, according to regulatory filings. The San Francisco-based firm filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this week for a $360 million third flagship fund and $130 million for a separate vehicle called Ballistic Ventures Fund B.
Filing Details and Fund Sizes
The third flagship fund matches the size of the firm's previous fund, raised in 2024. Neither fund had recorded any sales at the time of filing. Ballistic Ventures declined to comment on its fundraising plans.
Founding Team and Portfolio
Founded in late 2021, Ballistic Ventures' founding team includes Ted Schlein, a former Kleiner Perkins partner; Barmak Meftah, former AT&T Cybersecurity president; and Roger Thornton, who co-founded Fortify Software and AlienVault. The firm has backed Talon Cyber Security, acquired by Palo Alto Networks, and Pangea, bought by CrowdStrike, alongside Armadin, GetReal, Nudge Security and Oligo Security.
AI Concerns and Market Context
The fundraising plans come as growing use of artificial intelligence has raised concerns about more sophisticated cyberattacks, while the rise of AI agents has created new opportunities for cybersecurity startups and their backers. U.S. cybersecurity startups raised $11.5 billion in 2025, the highest since 2022, a JPMorgan Chase report said, citing PitchBook data. AI-enabled companies accounted for about 72% of U.S. cybersecurity venture deals through May this year, compared with 36% in 2019.
