Risk Ledger | making supply chains more transparent and resilient

Founded in 2018, Risk Ledger is an award winning cybersecurity platform that makes supply chains more transparent and resilient by identifying and addressing security risks.

It’s based on the idea of a social network, highlighting those suppliers connected to the greatest number of customers where security incidents might potentially impact an entire sector rather than a single client.

“We're then able to map out supply chains and solve risks that previously were unable to be identified, like concentration risks or systemic risks." says CEO Haydn Brooks.

Risk Ledger now integrates supplier profiles from over 3,500 organisations, and has over 10,000 users. It has raised £3.5m to date across three rounds, from investors including Lifeline Ventures, firstminute capital, Seedcamp, Village Global, Cylon, Episode 1, and LORCA.

"The UK is a really good environment to refine and test your value proposition. It’s known for having a harder sales environment, for example, so it’s a place to make sure that the product you’re building does bring value to your clients. In the US, we see that deals tend to be quicker to win, and they are more open to working with younger companies.

The knockon effect is that in the US the exit prices and round prices tend to be higher as well. This means that for an investor in the UK, there’s potentially a much better deal to be done because you’re buying into a stronger company at a more realistic price without the Silicon Valley bubble.

The British brand still means a lot - It is still a very trustworthy, reliable brand to build a company on."
