We’re incredibly proud to announce our seed round of $6m, just six months after raising our pre-seed of $1.7m. Led by Uncork Capital as the lead, with participation from Mantis and PrimeSet. We also welcome back Scribble VC and Roar Ventures who supported us in the pre-seed.

Together with this news, we’ve opened up our free tier to all. You can now sign up and start using c/side to monitor, secure, and optimize 3rd party scripts.

We founded c/side to put client-side security on the map.

For too long, have we seen headline after headline of websites being attacked by malicious actors using this path to steal private information.

For too long, has this space in the overall landscape that is cyber security been ignored. With established solutions being lackluster, underdeveloped and put out of the price range for smaller companies.

For too long, have companies been blind to what happens in the browser of their users.

With c/side, we want to make cyber security accessible to all. Companies large and small should be able to protect themselves. The relationships with their customers is vital to their business, and their customer’s private information is at risk.

We have developed the easiest, most elegant and yet powerful way to protect against malicious 3rd party JavaScript. Our proxy-based approach is by far the best way to prevent attacks, not just alerting after the fact. Together with our optimization, this doesn’t cause any latency, in fact, makes websites load scripts faster.

But security is our primary goal.

Through securing the client-side environment, our customers are able to see exactly what is being rendered in the browser of the user. If anything malicious tries to sneak in, they can sleep soundly, knowing that we will alert them and block it before it can cause harm.

With this investment and trust, we are expanding our offering and actively building the next versions of c/side. We therefore invite you to sign up for c/side’s free tier, and give us your feedback to improve.

We want to massively thank our venture partners and angel investors for their trust and belief in c/side. Since being founded in January of this year, the path we’ve built has shown us that we’re on the right track.

Now, it’s time to sprint towards our goal of securing the client-side environment to the highest possible level.

Thank you, the c/side team.
