Direction

We are a multi-stage investment firm focused on global cybersecurity companies.

Those in cybersecurity must adapt and course correct quickly and this is the world we know. All industries experience global pressures and demands from customers. Cybersecurity amplifies these challenges with global risks and threats from adversaries. The objective of the game is safety and stability, but the playing field changes daily.

As pioneers in cybersecurity, we have built world-leading technologies, revived global brands and fostered superior sustainable performance in turbulent markets. We have been on both sides of the investment table and on opposite ends of the globe. Subtleties in culture can make or break deals, teams, and companies. We walk forward together.

Aspiring to create value and do good.

The most important choices are often overlooked.

It is not only where we are going, but how we get there. In every journey, we aspire to both create value and do good. We can make positive choices for diversity, life-balance and economics.

History

Global Forward Capital was founded in 2017 as Trend Forward Capital by Managing Partner, Wael Mohamed. The name reflected our tight relationship with Trend Micro, an initial Limited Partner (LP).

Fund I focused on growth-stage investments in transformational and leading-edge technologies. Our portfolio companies included Turbonomic, Snyk, Cysiv, Affectiva, Attivo Networks, and Veem.

In 2023, we expanded our mission from venture capital to multi-stage investment firm, adding private equity and focusing on cybersecurity. We renamed our firm Global Forward Capital, reflecting the opening of our Singapore Headquarters, the expansion of our mission and our unique experience in global cybersecurity markets.
