Spain-based cyber intelligence technology developer Blueliv has received €4m ($4.9m) in a series A round led by water treatment provider Agbar Group’s Vento subsidiary and backed by telecommunications company Telefónica.
The round also featured Kibo Ventures, the venture capital firm that joined Telefónica investment vehicle Telefónica Ventures in a $3.4m round for the company in 2014.
Blueliv provides intelligence on cyber threats from the web, deep web and dark internet, and will put the latest funding into international expansion.
Daniel Solís, Blueliv’s founder and chief executive, said: “This funding event is a milestone for Blueliv, and the investment support from Vento, along with our existing partners Telefónica and Kibo Ventures, is facilitating a new phase of development for us.
“We have taken great pleasure in outgrowing our old offices and moving to a new headquarters for 2018, expanding our footprint and business with new management-level hires and new talent to drive growth in Europe and beyond.”
