Vienna-based SignPath, a software and SaaS services provider that ensures code integrity from development to distribution, has secured €5M in a Series A round of funding.
TIN Capital, a cybersecurity investor from The Netherlands, invested in the Austrian startup. This is TIN Capital’s second investment from its European Cyber Tech Fund, a cybersecurity fund focused on supporting European startups and scale-ups.
What does SignPath offer?
SignPath, a provider of secure and automated code signing solutions, specialises in safeguarding software supply chains and ensuring compliance.
SignPath serves clients across Europe and the US, including companies like Hitachi Energy, Airbus, and SolarWinds. It claims its platform seamlessly integrates into CI/CD pipelines.
The platform combines automated integrity checks with code signing mechanisms, ensuring software components are authenticated, tamper-proof, and compliant with industry standards.
Founded in 2017 under Rubicon IT and operating independently since 2023, SignPath enhances the security, reliability, and trustworthiness of software products for organisations ranging from small development teams to large enterprises.
Capital utilisation
The €5M Series A investment from TIN Capital’s European Cyber Tech Fund will enable SignPath to expand its platform, accelerate its European go-to-market efforts, and grow its customer base in the US.
Stefan Wenig, CEO and CTO of SignPath says, “This investment is a significant milestone for SignPath. As regulatory requirements like Executive Order 14028 in the US, the Cyber Resilience Act in the EU and sector-specific standards evolve, customers increasingly rely on us to ensure the integrity and quality of their software development and security processes.”
“With TIN Capital’s support, we’re positioned to grow our team and scale operations to keep up with demand.”
Stephan Brack, CSO of SignPath, adds, “We are excited to work with the team at TIN Capital. Leveraging TIN Capital’s expertise and connections across the European cybersecurity ecosystem, on top of our existing network of customers, and strategic partners will open many doors to attract top talent and deliver on the envisaged growth over the coming two years.”
Brief about TIN Capital
Founded in 1998, TIN Capital is a European cybersecurity investor. Since 2018, it has focused on strengthening cybersecurity through its Dutch Security TechFund.
In late 2023, TIN Capital launched the European Cyber Tech Fund V, set to close in April 2025. This fund supports European cybersecurity companies in A/B funding rounds. Its portfolio includes Eye Security, BreachLock, EGERIE, and EclecticIQ.
Speaking about the investment in SignPath, Reinout vander Meûlen, Partner at TIN Capital, says, “We are strong believers in the necessity of robust cybersecurity solutions and the value of European pioneers like SignPath.”
“Both governments and enterprises realise that software breaches have very nasty, far-reaching consequences for users and vendors alike. A single-minded focus on code vulnerabilities is no longer adequate to defend against professional cybercriminals or state actors. We see SignPath’s code signing and pipeline integrity solutions as an essential piece of the puzzle to ensure secure and resilient software supply chains,” he adds.
