Wirespeed - Seed Round

Undisclosed Amount

There’s a difference between moving fast and being built for speed. ⚡wirespeed? Built like a Tesla Plaid with the paranoia of a DEF CON keynote.

Founded in July 2024, this Minneapolis crew didn’t just stumble into cybersecurity, they came through the fire. Tim MalcomVetter and Jake Reynolds weren’t trying to disrupt the MDR game for the buzz. They lived the pain, saw the bloat, felt the drag of legacy systems. Then they took a clean sheet and scorched it with code. The result? Wirespeed, the world’s first fully automated Managed Detection and Response platform that delivers threat verdicts in literal milliseconds. That’s not fast, that’s generational.

Let’s talk brass tacks. Seed round just dropped. Undisclosed in dollars, but heavy in muscle. Led by Mairs & Power, Inc., joined by cybersecurity titan Gary Fish, Deke George, Grossman Ventures, RNP Capital Advisors, and Daren Cotter. That’s not a cap table, it’s a statement. A who's-who betting on Wirespeed's algorithmic arsenal to take down slow, expensive MDR incumbents with a vendor-agnostic, hardware-optimized beast of a platform.

And if you think this is just some slick SaaS skin on old code, think again. The platform doesn’t just detect threats, it auto-mitigates more than half of EDR alerts without breaking a sweat. From Slack to Teams to SMS, it runs ChatOps like a digital pit boss. Real-time threat intelligence via ReversingLabs. Transparent analysis with audit trails cleaner than a Big Four report. No flashy gimmicks, just clinical execution.

Tim MalcomVetter earned his stripes building Walmart’s Red Team and scaling Cyderes through triple-digit growth. Jake Reynolds architected NetSPI’s PTaaS and ASM platforms before most companies even knew what that alphabet soup meant. These two aren’t founders, they’re field generals in the war on alert fatigue, and they just got the ammo to scale.

Wirespeed isn’t out here buying Super Bowl ads or plastering logos on sports cars. They’re investing in code, clarity, and cutting the cost curve for MSSPs who need to triage smarter and faster. If your SOC is drowning in noise, these are the guys pulling you out.
