Dutch Investors Commit Additional €15 Million to TIN Capital’s Cybersecurity Fund

Dutch investors have committed an additional €15 million to TIN Capital’s second cybersecurity fund: European Cyber Tech Fund V. This investment adds to previously committed tens of millions of euros and is part of an ongoing fundraising round. The final close is expected in the coming months, with a target fund size exceeding €80 million. 

​

This funding round is supported by public investors Invest-NL, InnovationQuarter, and ROM Regio Utrecht, alongside several private investors and family offices from the Netherlands. Their commitment sends a clear signal: Europe can no longer delay investing in high-quality, European cybersecurity solutions. The urgency to enhance digital resilience and develop strategic technologies rooted in Europe is strongly felt in the Netherlands.

​

“The geopolitical climate and increasing digital threats make it essential for Europe to strive for technological autonomy. This is something the Netherlands can and should play a key role in,” says Johan Stins of impact investor Invest-NL. “By investing now in European cybersecurity innovations, we are taking responsibility for safeguarding Europe’s digital future.”

​

“This investment aligns perfectly with our focus on defense and security,” says Alex Bos of InnovationQuarter. “Within a broad public-private ecosystem, in which we collaborate among others with the Ministry of Defence, we are fostering technological innovation in the field of security. Cybersecurity is an increasingly important part of this. Through our investment in TIN Capital’s fund, we provide European, and specifically Zuid-Holland-based, startups and scale-ups with access to the crucial growth capital that is still lacking in the cybersecurity sector.”

​

Jeffrey Williams from ROM Regio Utrecht adds: “With its central location, strong knowledge institutions, and a growing cluster of companies and talent, Utrecht Region is a natural driver of digital resilience. Our investment in TIN Capital’s fund aligns with that role and strengthens the broader cybersecurity ecosystem.”

​

TIN Capital, active since 1998 and focusing solely on cybersecurity investments since 2018, sees this Dutch backing as a strong endorsement of its strategy. “We are delighted with the trust of these Dutch investors,” says Michael Lucassen of TIN Capital. “With our second cybersecurity fund, we are building on the success of our first, which supported several promising European cybersecurity companies. The Netherlands can take a leading role in making Europe more secure and in building strong European cybersecurity champions.​
