New Delhi, Apr 30, (CXO Media): Exfinity Venture Partners has secured a 13x return from a partial exit in cybersecurity startup CloudSEK.
Startup Exit & Investment Strategy
The deeptech venture capital firm completed the transaction in January through a secondary sale to existing investors, while retaining a stake in the company. The firm reported an internal rate of return (IRR) of over 40% from the deal. This marks one of several exits from its 2016 Fund II, following previous outcomes in companies like Kinara.ai, Locus and Pixis.
CloudSEK Growth & Market Expansion
CloudSEK, which Exfinity backed at the pre-Series A stage, has shifted from reactive cybersecurity tools to an AI-led predictive threat intelligence platform. The company focuses on identifying risks across digital assets, supply chains and attack surfaces before incidents occur. It has crossed $15 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), with over 60% of new business coming from international markets, led by growth in the US.
Funding & Industry Context
In early 2025, the company raised over $20 million in a Series B round, indicating continued investor interest in AI-driven cybersecurity solutions. The partial exit also reflects ongoing secondary market activity among venture investors looking to lock in returns while maintaining exposure to scaling startups.
