Why invest in Firevault

The investment case without giving the pitch away.

The private pitch contains the detailed market sizing, commercial pipeline, unit economics, roadmap, round terms and illustrative return scenarios. The public page answers one question first: why is this worth opening?

The problem

Critical data remains permanently reachable.

Cybersecurity keeps defending connected environments. The highest-consequence data often does not need to stay online continuously.

Permanent route → permanent exposure

The solution

Four products. One offline platform.

Offline Secure Storage combines dedicated hardware, physical disconnection and controlled access in a managed service.

LUV · Vault · Storage · Enterprise

The proof

Already live, not a prototype.

A customer-deployed platform, commercial LOIs and committed private capital provide evidence beyond the original concept.

Live · LOIs · capital committed

The model

Physical infrastructure with recurring economics.

Minimum-term managed-service contracts are designed to turn installed capacity into predictable recurring revenue.

36-month standard contracts

The market

Security spend is rising. Offline adoption is early.

Firevault is entering a category where organisations increasingly need separation as well as protection.

Full market model inside the pitch

The round

Capital converts into capacity.

The £2m EIS seed is designed to add infrastructure, increase delivery capacity and convert a commercially validated pipeline.

Detailed deployment plan in the pitch

Why Firevault

We removed the path instead of defending it.

Most security products add controls around an asset that remains network reachable. Firevault adds a different state: physically disconnected at Layer 1 until authorised access is required.

Connected model

A route always exists.

Identity, firewalls, endpoint security, backups and monitoring all protect a network path that remains available.

OSS model

The data path can disappear.

Dedicated storage sits offline and the path is introduced only for a verified, governed session.

The architectural difference

Security by changing the state of the asset.

The category thesis is deliberately simple: some sensitive and critical data does not need a permanent network presence. Firevault gives organisations a way to take that data offline without returning to manual tape workflows.

The pitch goes deeper into Layer 1 architecture, controlled connectivity and how the platform was built.

Commercial proof

Enough traction to warrant a closer look.

The purpose of the public page is to establish momentum without publishing the customer, partner and pipeline detail contained in the confidential deck.

From lab to live

Customer deployed. Market engaged.

Firevault has moved from architecture and testing into production use, early commercial demand and an active partner ecosystem.

1+

Year live

First regulated-sector customer operating on the platform.

8

LOIs

Commercial intent across multiple market routes.

120

Instances in LOIs

Demand expressed in actual deployable units.

100+

Partner conversations

A growing route to market beyond direct sales.

The business model

Three numbers worth knowing before the deck.

The detailed rack model, operating cost assumptions and contract economics stay in the private materials. These are the headline characteristics investors need to understand first.

Contracted revenue

36 mo

Minimum term

Each sale starts with a multi-year customer commitment rather than a month-to-month storage subscription.

Full contract economics → investor pitch

Hardware economics

~9 mo

Rack payback

The model is designed so installed infrastructure can recover its initial hardware cost quickly as contracted instances fill capacity.

Rack model → investor pitch

Margin profile

80%+

Gross margins

Dedicated physical infrastructure is delivered through a recurring managed-service model rather than one-off hardware sales.

Assumptions and detail → investor pitch

Product ladder

From one person's vault to national infrastructure.

One core architecture supports multiple customer types and contract sizes. The investor significance is the ability to climb the value ladder without changing the category.

Dedicated digital safe deposit boxes for directors, professionals and high-value personal data.

04

High assurance

Enterprise

Dedicated offline infrastructure for government, defence and critical environments.

300TB+

Defensibility

More difficult to replicate than a feature.

The detailed IP and roadmap remain confidential. Publicly, the moat can be understood through three things: architecture, delivery and category position.

01

Architecture

Re-architected.

Built from the ground up around physical disconnection, not bolted onto a connected stack.

02

Technology access

Patentable platform.

The technology is held outright by Firevault, secured and not available to anyone else.

03

Execution

Lab to live.

Live and proven in production, from physical infrastructure through to customer operations.

The team

Commercial execution meets technical depth.

The investor deck contains the detailed biographies and track records. The public page shows who is responsible for turning the technology into a scaled company.

Firevault · £2m EIS Seed

Protect what matters. Build what comes next.

Firevault is creating a new category in cyber resilience around a simple architectural idea: the data you cannot afford to lose should not need to remain permanently reachable.
