These DARPA Darlings Just Raised $20M To Build A Super-Powered Google For The Internet Of Things

In these holes, Junio and three of his DARPA comrades saw a million-dollar opportunity. Several million dollars, to be more accurate, in the form of a company that continuously scans servers, routers, CCTV cameras, power plant control systems - any device connecting to the public internet - and reports back vulnerabilities to customers before malicious hackers get there first. That’s the tech behind their business Qadium, which just received $20 million in a Series A funding round led by NEA’s Scott Sandell, a decade-long member of FORBES’ Midas List of top tech investors. Prior to this payday, shared exclusively with FORBES, Peter Thiel, another Midas list member, Facebook FB +0.73% board member and chairman of US government favorite and Big Data giant Palantir, led seed funding in 2015 of $6 million.

Qadium, a Peter Thiel-backed cybersecurity start-up from San Francisco, has raised a Series B of $40 million, as it expands its product that CEO and ex-CIA analyst Tim Junio claims can index almost every device connected to the public internet in just an hour.
