Our take
In a world of increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats, many SMBs don’t have the resources to protect themselves. Huntress addresses the need for robust cybersecurity solutions for small to medium sized businesses, which make up 99% of the US business landscape.
The company offers a managed security platform, which third party resellers leverage to protect their clients from attacks. Launched in 2015, Huntress has grown well over the years, attracting plenty of investment and expanding its headcount into the hundreds.
In recent years, Huntress has turned its eye to acquisitions and new product launches, as well as major international expansion. A considerable influx of funding will support these initiatives, as well as allow the company to maintain sales momentum by expanding its go-to-market efforts.
