Swiss cybersecurity start-up Saporo has revealed that it has raised €7 million which is about $8.1 million in a Series A round, bringing its total funding to €13.6 million which is about $15.8 million. The round was led by TIN Capital with participation from G plus D Ventures, CDP Venture Capital, XAnge, Lightbird VC and Session VC. These investors will also help the company strengthen its presence across key European markets.
Founded in 2021 and based in Lausanne Switzerland, Saporo has created a graph native identity security platform designed to give organizations clear visibility into identity threats. The platform examines identity relationships, log events and configuration issues to reveal hidden attack paths that could be used for lateral movement or privilege escalation. This allows customers to reduce their attack surface, enforce internal policies and prevent breaches before they occur.
Saporo’s approach focuses on making access to critical assets much harder for attackers by monitoring identity and configuration changes in real time. It works across on premises systems, cloud environments and machine identities. With its graph-based view of identity activity the platform aims to provide the same perspective an attacker would use, helping security teams remove exposures at scale and strengthen their hybrid environments.
The company plans to grow its research development, sales and marketing teams in 2026 and currently employs staff in Switzerland, France and the US. Saporo Co-Founder and Chief Executive, Olivier Eyries highlighted the scale of the challenge large enterprises face and said that “In large enterprises, identity graphs routinely surface over a billion attack paths. Fixing them one by one is effectively a century long project. Our customers use Saporo to remove around eighty percent of those paths within the first year, which delivers faster risk reduction and far lower remediation effort.”
