Saporo Raises $8 Million for Identity Security Platform
Swiss cybersecurity startup Saporo announced it has raised €7 million (~$8.1 million) in a Series A round, bringing total funding to €13.6 million (~€15.8 million). The round was led by TIN Capital with additional support from G+D Ventures, CDP Venture Capital, XAnge, Lightbird VC, and Session VC, each consortium member pledging to back Saporo’s expansion across European markets.
Based in Lausanne, Saporo has developed a graph-native identity security platform that provides visibility into identity risks by analysing identity relationships, log events, and misconfigurations to surface hidden attack paths. The solution monitors identity and configuration changes in real time across on‑premises, cloud services, and machine identities, delivering a view described as attacker’s perspective to help eliminate attack paths at scale.
Saporo plans to significantly expand its research and development, sales, and marketing teams in 2026, with current staff in Switzerland, France, and the US. CEO Olivier Eyries said enterprises face billions of identity paths, and Saporo helps remove around eighty percent of those paths within the first year, delivering faster risk reduction and lower remediation effort.
