What Cyber Capital Partners does

Cyber Capital Partners (CyberCP) is a cybersecurity business consultancy and independent sponsor founded in 2010 by Jason M. Gayl and headquartered in Washington, DC, with regional offices in Boston and West Palm Beach. The firm operates as a boutique advisory and investment platform focused exclusively on Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) resilience, serving the 16 U.S. critical infrastructure sectors including Energy, Financial Services, Healthcare, and Homeland Security, as well as the Defense and Intelligence Community. Its core activities span corporate development, capital raising, mergers and acquisitions advisory, executive augmentation (CFO, CTO, CRO placements), technology licensing, market intelligence, and technology validation and verification (IV&V). The firm differentiates itself through a 28-point proprietary vetting methodology, its DoD Trusted Capital Provider designation, and contractual relationships with four DoE National Laboratories providing access to over 300 federal cyber technology research programs.

The firm's product and service surface includes several operating subsidiaries and programs. P3F, LLC is an ICS Resilience Services Platform delivering offensive and defensive sponsored R&D, OT/ICS cyber workforce training and talent matching, nation-state-level red-teaming, and cyber-range emulation, test, and evaluation. Eagle Venture Studio functions as a venture-studio sub-brand sourcing cybersecurity technologies from National Laboratories, incubators, accelerators, corporate ventures, and entrepreneurs, and providing shared corporate services. CMMC Managed LLC, jointly controlled via Operating Partner Matthew Condy, is developing a CMMC Concierge marketplace pairing Defense Industrial Base small and medium-sized businesses with cybersecurity service providers. StealthPath is a portfolio company offering a patent-protected (6 granted patents, 7 applications, 1 global) Zero Trust endpoint protection platform for OT and IoT. The firm also administers the DoE PACT Program, showcasing market-ready technologies from federal R&D pipelines.

Revenue is generated through a combination of management and consulting fees from client engagements, equity compensation and management fees from portfolio companies, M&A advisory and capital-raising transaction fees, and technology licensing and IV&V revenue from federal R&D partners. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is largely direct and relationship-driven, augmented by virtual technology showcases, webinars, and the CyberWar Summit. The customer mix spans federal agencies (DoE National Laboratories), mid-market OT/ICS cybersecurity companies targeted at $5 million to $25 million in revenue, and select portfolio/investee companies including Ongoing Operations, TruShield Security Solutions, Secure Mountain, and StealthPath. Headcount is reported at 1-10, indicating a compact, partner-led operating model.
