SignPath, a Vienna-based startup furthering software supply chain security through automated code-signing solutions, has secured €5 million in Series A funding from TIN Capital, a cybersecurity investor based in the Netherlands.
“This investment is a significant milestone for SignPath,” said Stefan Wenig, CEO and CTO of SignPath. “As regulatory requirements like Executive Order 14028 in the U.S., 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.”
SignPath, founded in 2017 under Rubicon IT and operating independently since 2023, is a provider of secure, automated code signing and code integrity solutions.
Founded with the mission to safeguard software supply chains, SignPath’s platform integrates into CI/CD pipelines, catering to businesses across Europe and the United States. From small development teams to major enterprises, their developer-friendly solution aims to ensure software integrity, protecting against tampering and malicious backdoors.
The funding will drive SignPath’s expansion in Europe, enhance its presence in the US market, and support the scaling of its platform to meet growing demand.
SignPath’s automated code-signing and pipeline integrity mechanisms ensure software components remain authenticated, tamper-proof, and compliant with industry standards. Trusted by global names such as Hitachi Energy, Airbus, and SolarWinds, the company has established itself as a critical player in ensuring reliable and secure software delivery.
The investment marks the second deployment from TIN Capital’s European Cyber Tech Fund, highlighting the fund’s focus on European cybersecurity startups.
“We are strong believers in the necessity of robust cybersecurity solutions and the value of European pioneers like SignPath,” said Reinout vander Meûlen, Partner at TIN Capital.“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 de fend 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.”
This funding injection is expected to accelerate SignPath’s growth trajectory and innovation roadmap. The company plans to leverage the new investment to attract top-tier talent, strengthen its ecosystem of strategic partners, and expand its customer base globally.
“We are excited to work with the team at TIN Capital,” said Stephan Brack, CSO of SignPath. “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.”
This investment highlights SignPath’s role in addressing critical software integrity challenges and TIN Capital’s commitment to bolstering Europe’s cybersecurity landscape.
