Option3

Option3 (formerly Option3Ventures - O3V) primarily seek control investments in the growing cybersecurity mid-market, seeking to build champions with the scale to bring cutting-edge products to market efficiently, thereby ensuring the security and resiliency of the country.

We founded Option3 in 2015 as a specialist cybersecurity investment firm with the mission to make high risk-adjusted returns by investing in those companies and capabilities that America most needed in the coming five years. In that time, we have invested in 9 companies, with three successful exits and a further four pending.

Option3’s success lies in combining a deep heritage in the national security community with decades of experience in the investment industry. But our focus has evolved.

We started off making largely minority investments in earlier-stage companies but gradually moved to control or joint control investments, and now focus primarily on mid-market buyouts.
