SAN DIEGO – Snell & Wilmer represented San Diego-based client Blueprint Equity as it led Series A funding of Sprocket Security, an offensive security solutions platform. Blueprint Equity provides expansion capital to high-growth, capital efficient enterprise software and technology-enabled service businesses worldwide. Wisconsin-based Capital Midwest Fund also participated. The funding will accelerate Sprocket’s platform development, fuel customer success, and expand sales and marketing initiatives.
“Within an ever-changing cybersecurity landscape, the only constant is the presence of threat actors. Constant vigilance, or penetration testing, is critical in understanding how and the extent to which vulnerabilities can be exploited by sophisticated hacker techniques. We see a growing demand among CISOs and IT security leaders for proactive security solutions as they look to harden the growing attack surface within their respective organizations,” said Blueprint Equity’s Vice President John Bonhard in a recent press release. Bonhard will also join Sprocket’s Board of Directors.
Bonhard went on to say, “Casey [Cammilleri, Sprocket CEO] and his COO, Gaurav Kulkarni, are solving this problem with unparalleled execution that customers have only described as a ‘true partnership.’ We’re honored to partner with outstanding leaders and domain experts like Casey and Gaurav.”
A diverse Snell & Wilmer deal team led by Corporate and Securities Partner Bardia Moayedi including Sarah Hibbard, Christopher Franich, Bahar Schippel, and paralegal Scot Drake advised Blueprint Equity in the funding.
