A week after being named as one of the Top 40 technology companies in Gloucestershire, Canadian CyberTech startup with Cheltenham based entrepreneur and co-founder Martyn Gill have been named winners of the Global Tech Challenge at the World Smart City Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
Based in Hub8, Cheltenham and after only 11 months in business, ORNA Inc. have secured over $1M of seed investment funding and have been named as the most intuitive cyber incident response and case management platform.
Winning the Global Tech Challenge sees ORNA Inc now work with the Valencia based Venture Capitalist (VC) fund, GoHub Ventures with up to $4.5M of investment funding as well as develop a paid use case with the worlds top 5 utilities company, Global Omnium. The ORNA team said afterwards: “With the growing geopolitical, industrial and environmental challenges facing the world, of unprecedented complexity, it is vital to support startups that are committed to solving them. Competition is the engine of all innovation and the Challenge represents a good opportunity for disruptive organisations like ours not only to place themselves on the international board, but also to work side by side with corporations like GoHub Ventures.”
Co-founder and President, Martyn Gill said “with global cybersecurity losses in 2021 being reported at $6Trillion, and with energy security growing in importance after this year’s global events, cyber resilience will be a growing asset for all size of business globally”
We look forward to seeing ORNA scale in 2023 and to how they develop the ORNA platform through this amazing opportunity. For more information or to download ORNA for free, visit them at www.orna.app
