How are the funds on this page chosen?

A fund enters the list once it has made at least 2 new cybersecurity investments over the last 36 months, based on the rounds tracked by Builders Republic. The sectors funds declare do not count: most of them declare almost all of them. Builders Republic then hand-picks three active funds per stage, placed according to the stages they declare. This is not a ranking. The figure on each card counts its new cybersecurity investments over the last 36 months, all stages combined.
