Via Science (VIA), a U.S.-based cybersecurity company, has closed a $28 million Series B funding round to fast-track the growth of its decentralized, military-grade data and identity protection platform designed for governments and enterprises. The company’s solution tackles growing security threats like data leaks across networks, insider attacks, and the looming risks posed by quantum computing.
VIA’s latest funding round was highly competitive, attracting top-tier investors known for their deep commercial and technical expertise. Leading the round was Bosch Ventures, with additional backing from BMW i Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, and Sentinel Global. They join existing investor Westly Group to support VIA’s mission of redefining data security.
CEO and co-founder Colin Gounden emphasized the market demand for more resilient cybersecurity models. “Decentralized, passwordless, and quantum-resistant solutions are no longer optional—they’re essential. Our platform is built for this new reality, enabling secure data transfers between internal teams, external partners, IoT devices, and AI agents. This investment helps us speed up enterprise adoption of our military-grade Web3 security platform,” Gounden said.
The rise of cloud applications and reliance on traditional perimeter-based defenses have left many enterprises exposed to large-scale data breaches. Reports from the NSA and other agencies highlight the urgent need for better protection. VIA’s platform tackles these vulnerabilities head-on with decentralized identity management and end-to-end quantum-resistant encryption, offering enterprise-level control, auditability, and data privacy.
Bosch Ventures partner Adam Jackson explained why they led the investment. “Given our experience across automotive and industrial sectors, we know first-hand how critical digital transformation is becoming in supply chains. VIA’s progress and traction across multiple industries impressed us. Their tech has the potential to reshape enterprise security.”
Unlike many cybersecurity companies still relying on passwords and perimeter defenses, VIA’s platform uses a zero trust, decentralized framework. This unique architecture allows businesses to protect their most sensitive data and systems with ease—without compromising on deployment speed or maintenance. Quantum computing has been gaining attention reccently, with HP debuting its printers with built-in quantumm cyber defense.
Co-founder and COO Kate Ravanis shared how VIA’s Department of Defense (DoD) projects have shaped their technology. “Our passwordless, quantum-secure solutions are built for high-stakes environments. With 24/7 vulnerability monitoring, our platform raises the bar for what’s possible in civilian agencies and enterprise security.”
BMW i Ventures managing partner Kasper Sage also weighed in, noting the increasing demand for secure data communication. “With the rise of software-defined vehicles, robots, and edge devices, safeguarding real-time data exchanges is critical. VIA is enabling trusted communication and safer mobility systems.”
MassMutual Ventures partner Charles Svirk praised VIA’s architecture for its adaptability across industries. “Handling sensitive, regulated data is core to our investment focus. VIA’s Web3 platform, with quantum resistance and seamless interoperability, is a game-changer. We’re excited to support their growth, especially in sectors like energy, infrastructure, and real estate.”
With this new investment, VIA is set to expand its footprint across both government and commercial sectors, providing a much-needed layer of quantum-safe, decentralized data protection in a world increasingly reliant on complex, connected systems.
