"For such an early stage business, Eva and the Bewica team were extremely well-organised and ready for investment. With the drastic increase in virtual working and business conducted online, cyber fitness is a major and growing concern for SMEs, so the timing felt right. Also, Bewica was developed in partnership with customers such as banks and insurance providers as a direct response to the growing threat of cyber crime for their own clients, so the product-market fit was another strong reason to invest. We’re excited to see what the future holds for Bewica and happy to be counted among their early supporters."

The potential is phenomenal, and we are immensely grateful to our supporters for sharing our vision and helping us to scale at this pivotal time."
