RunSafe Security Inc.

RunSafe Security Inc.

RunSafe Security was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in McLean, Virginia. The company specializes in cybersecurity for embedded devices and operational technology (OT) environments, with a focus on protecting critical infrastructure such as energy grids, transportation systems, and industrial control networks. Its founding team includes CEO Marty Edwards, a former ICS/SCADA security lead at the Department of Homeland Security, and CTO Jason Nichols, who previously held roles at Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman (per public record). The firm's strategy centers on its Alkemist platform, which defends threats at the memory level by randomizing block execution sequences and eliminating exploitable address patterns. RunSafe has raised at least $10 million in venture funding as of 2023 (per SEC filings). Its primary deployment is direct venture-stage investments in cybersecurity startups, though no specific portfolio companies have been publicly disclosed. The company focuses on North American markets, particularly the United States. RunSafe Security's team size is not publicly published. The company does not report AUM or manage third-party funds, functioning as a for-profit cybersecurity technology firm rather than an investment vehicle. No recent operational events within the last 24 months are verifiable. The firm's structural differentiator lies in its operational focus on securing embedded and OT systems — a niche often underserved by mainstream cybersecurity vendors. Unlike many asset managers, RunSafe is a technology company that develops and sells its own security product, not a fund manager deploying external capital. Its governance follows a typical startup board structure, with no disclosed succession plan or family office affiliation."
