Zivver Secures $17 Million to Take the World by Storm
In a flashy right‑wing incursion into the security arena, Zivver, the upstart defender of confidential chats and files, just pumped in $17 million – boosting its total coffers to well over $30 million. The headline grabber? DN Capital taking the lead, with fresh blood from SmartFin.
Why the Money Matters
- Fast‑track Zivver’s leap from Dutch darling to UK sensation and beyond.
- Fuel platform upgrades: from email protection to digital signatures, secure forms, and even video.
- Keep the Microsoft Office and Google Workspace lovers happy while patching gaps left by other email guards.
Quote from the Visionary
Rick Goud, CIO & co‑founder, fires up:
“The pandemic taught us that remote work needs a safety net. With 40 % of Dutch hospitals, local government, and the entire judicial system already on board, our tech keeps personal data safe. These laws keep rolling — we’re ready.”
DN Capital Puts Their Ego in the Fund
Partner Thomas Rubens raves, “Gartner’s latest guide shows there’s room for email‑security superheroes. Zivver is a game‑changer, and we’re pumped to help them sky‑rocket internationally.”
SmartFin’s Take
Founding Partner Jurgen Ingels comments, “Data leaks from shaky chats hurt everyone. Zivver’s bite‑size approach pays attention to how people actually use email, turning chaos into order.”
Supporting Cast
Other investors, henQ and Dawn Capital, keep the faith, while ABN AMRO Bank’s innovation credit gives the extra boost.
Recent Wins Worth a High‑Five
- Featured as a Representative Vendor in Gartner’s 2020 Email Security guide.
