Zip Security, a cybersecurity platform built for small and mid-sized businesses, has raised $13.5m in a Series A funding round.
The investment was led by Ballistic Ventures, with backing from Silver Buckshot, Mantis VC, and existing supporters General Catalyst, Human Capital and Box Group. This brings Zip’s total funding to $21m.
Founded by ex-Palantir engineers Josh Zweig and Gabbi Merz, Zip automates core security operations like endpoint protection, identity management, and compliance.
The new capital will help Zip grow its team, build more third-party integrations, and expand into sectors such as defence, finance and healthcare.
Zip Security CEO Josh Zweig said, “For every dollar companies spend on security tools, many spend several more on services and consulting just to get those tools working. Cybersecurity shouldn’t be a luxury only big businesses can afford. We believe modern security should be automated, accessible, and cost-effective. We’re on a mission to give businesses the automation to easily set up, manage, and improve their security – without needing a team of experts.”
Ballistic Ventures co-founder and general partner Barmak Meftah said, “Zip is tackling one of our industry’s most overlooked and urgent problems: how to bring strong security to organizations that can’t afford to get it wrong, but also can’t afford traditional approaches. Josh and Gabbi are incredibly sharp operators who have built a platform that’s not just functional, but empathetic to its users. We’re proud to partner with them to help democratize access to strong security.”
