Zobi gets £1M for Hedgehog that keeps Wi-Fi networks safe from intruders
Summary
Smart devices have increased our ability to connect to the Internet, making our lives easier and efficient. However, it comes with trade-offs, as it exposes us to significant risks because personal information can be stolen or misused, causing a myriad of problems for the owners. With cybercrime on the rise, the UK startup works to develop products to provide whole-home protection against the malicious digital activity. Founded by Scott Lever, Zobi’s first product, Hedgehog, detects and prevents cybercrime and suspicious activity across multiple devices in the entire home network. Zobi Founder, Scott Lever, comments: “I am thrilled not only to close a successful $1.5m fundraise but to share our journey and vision with over 900 investors, many who came through crowdfunding platform Seedrs.
