The Barcelona-based company Zynap, specialized in preventive cybersecurity based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), has announced the closing of a €6 million extension to its seed round, led by Kibo Ventures and Kfund.
According to the company, this injection brings the total funding raised by Zynap to €12 million.
The company stated that the round comes after «a period of technical progress», during which Zynap tested its platform with «top-tier clients» and recorded «strong growth» in its user base. In the company’s view, this validates «the great need of these organizations to have next-generation tools for preventive cybersecurity».
The funds will be allocated to the next phase of product development, including advances in automated analysis, AI-based threat models, and new tools for security teams.
In addition, Zynap plans to strengthen its teams and consolidate collaboration with large corporations and cybersecurity service providers, as well as prepare its international expansion into the United States, Europe, and Latin America.
The company has also announced that it plans to open a Series A round in 2026.
Zynap emphasized its business purpose, operating in a context marked by «the increase in attacks, the rapid evolution of tactics, and the growing use of AI to automate malicious campaigns, while cybersecurity teams face greater pressure and limited resources».
To address this scenario, the company has developed a preventive cybersecurity platform based on an architecture of agents, AI, and automation flows, aimed at anticipating attacks, reducing the attack surface, and improving the speed and accuracy of response.
The solution integrates correlated and updatable threat intelligence, which is used to activate, guide, and validate actions on defense systems.
«In the AI era, being the fastest is no longer enough. We are facing a paradigm shift: purely reactive cybersecurity must give way to a more preventive model,» said Daniel Solis, CEO and co-founder of Zynap.
«The reception that the platform is having in the market shows that this approach is necessary. We are grateful for the continued trust of our investors, which will allow us to accelerate the roadmap and open new markets,» he added.
From the investor side, Juan L. Santamaría, partner at Kibo Ventures, said the round reflects their decision to «double down on Zynap’s vision and execution and its great team».
In his view, «it is clear that large and medium-sized companies demand a preventive and automated approach to cybersecurity like the one Zynap provides».
Meanwhile, Miguel Arias, partner at Kfund, added that they have supported Zynap since its early stages and continue to believe in the direction it is taking, as «the evolution of the product and its disciplined execution reinforce our confidence regarding the upcoming milestones».
