Our take
Huntress addresses the need for robust cybersecurity solutions for small to medium sized businesses, which make up 99% of the US business landscape.
Many SMBs don’t have the resources to protect themselves against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, so it offers a managed security platform, which third party resellers leverage to protect their clients from attacks.
Huntress has shown strong growth since launching in 2015, and has been able to attract plenty of venture investment to expand its headcount into the hundreds.
With substantial funding, acquisitions, and new product launches to back it up, the company is eyeing up a major international expansion into the UK, Canada, Europe, as well as Australia and New Zealand.
