Why Cyber Angel Academy?

In an increasingly digital world, cyber threats pose significant risks to national security, businesses, and individuals alike. However, promising cybersecurity startups often face challenges accessing the risk capital necessary to scale their solutions. Cyber Angel Academy addresses this gap by.

Cyber Angel Academy is on a mission to build a robust investor ecosystem for cybersecurity startups in Denmark. By educating and connecting investors with the cybersecurity sector, we aim to transform the perception of cyber investments from high-risk to high-potential.

Throughout 2025 and 2026, we will host educational seminars and investor meet-ups to strengthen the foundation for angel investors interested in cybersecurity. These seminars will be held in both Aarhus and Copenhagen, but participants from across the country are welcome to join.
