"Obsidian Cipher didn't just invest — they parachuted in three senior engineers who rebuilt our data pipeline from the ground up. We went from 3-hour batch jobs to sub-second streaming in 6 weeks."
"The combination of capital and technical expertise is genuinely rare. Obsidian Cipher caught architectural issues in our platform that would have cost us millions at scale — before we even closed the round."
"Working with Obsidian Cipher on our FedRAMP authorization felt like having an insider. Their compliance team has been through this dozens of times and it showed."
Whether you're a founder seeking capital, an enterprise needing engineering firepower, or an LP looking to co-invest — we want to hear from you.
