Q6 Cyber (“Q6” or the “Company”), a leading threat intelligence platform focused on preventing fraud and financial crime, announced today that it has received a strategic growth investment from Charlesbank Capital Partners (“Charlesbank”), a middle-market private investment firm. This investment by the firm’s Technology Opportunities team will provide growth capital aimed at accelerating the Company’s efforts to invest in and add to its product suite, expand commercial and geographic presence, and pursue strategic acquisitions to broaden capabilities.
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Miami, Q6 Cyber serves banks, credit unions and other financial institutions with innovative solutions that proactively identify fraud and cyber threats across the dark web and other covert channels. The platform helps clients prevent fraud and cyber incidents before losses occur, driving tangible cost savings and measurable returns on investment for fraud prevention and information security teams. Since inception, Q6’s solution has cumulatively identified and mitigated hundreds of millions in potential fraud losses on behalf of its financial institution customer base.
Q6 founder and CEO Eli Dominitz and the entire management team have retained their investment and will continue to lead the Company. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Mr. Dominitz said, “Today’s investment is a testament to the value our team delivers to financial institutions every day, and the tremendous opportunity to scale further. In partnership with Charlesbank, we will continue to innovate, extend our reach and strengthen our ability to keep customers ahead of financial and electronic crimes. Their extensive experience backing high-growth threat intelligence businesses makes Charlesbank a fitting partner as we build on the strong foundation we’ve built.”
Q6 Cyber has delivered robust growth since its founding in 2016, with customers consistently realizing high ROI and transforming their fraud prevention and information security teams from reactive to proactive.
“We’ve been thoroughly impressed by the cutting-edge platform Eli and his team have built. For many leading financial institutions, Q6 has become mission-critical, providing invaluable fraud and cyber-threat intelligence,” said Darren Battistoni, Managing Director at Charlesbank and Co-Head of the Technology Opportunities team.
“Our investment in Q6 continues to build on our multi-year thematic focus in the threat intelligence ecosystem,” added Dhruva Kaul, Principal at Charlesbank. “Combating cyber-enabled fraud has become a top priority for financial institutions worldwide, and we look forward to helping Eli and team as they empower customers and scale Q6’s impact globally.”
