Saporo Secures €7 Million Funding to Tackle Identity-Based Cyber Threats

The Rise of Saporo: A Leader in Graph-Native Identity Security

In a significant development for the cybersecurity industry, Swiss startup Saporo has secured €7 million in Series A funding. Specializing in graph-native identity security, Saporo offers a unique approach that allows defenders to view enterprise environments from the perspective of potential attackers.

Leading the funding round is TIN Capital, with notable participation from G+D Ventures, CDP Venture Capital, XAnge, Lightbird VC, and Session VC. Each investor brings strategic value to Saporo’s growth trajectory. TIN Capital will support expansion in Northern Europe, G+D Ventures will drive market development in Germany, and CDP Venture Capital will focus on opportunities in Italy.

Co-founder and CEO Olivier Eyries highlights the importance of Saporo’s innovative approach: “The identity security market is complex, with ITDR and access graphs often failing to address systemic risks. In large enterprises, identity graphs can reveal over a billion attack paths, making traditional approaches ineffective.”

Looking at the broader landscape, funding rounds in related areas are relatively scarce. However, Saporo’s Series A funding stands out as one of the largest in the identity security space in 2025. Comparatively, other startups like WiseBee and Bsure received smaller funding rounds, indicating the early-stage nature of the sector.

Eyries emphasizes Saporo’s impact on risk reduction: “Our customers have seen significant improvements within the first year, eliminating around eighty percent of potential attack paths. With the support of our pan-European investor group, we are scaling our operations to meet the demand from large enterprises and regulated sectors across Europe and the US.”

Established in 2021, Saporo specializes in mapping and analyzing millions to billions of attack paths across hybrid identity systems. By identifying and eliminating the riskiest routes to critical assets, Saporo empowers security teams to proactively enhance their defenses.
